Non-thermal Plasma Synergistic Catalysis (NPSC) was firstly proposed and employed in the upgrading of biomass pyrolysis vapors for preparation of biofuels. The effects of the three-way catalysis (non-thermal plasma, HZSM-5 body and modified components) on the bio-oil upgrading performance and catalyst stability were comprehensively investigated. Bio-oil yields continued to decrease, but the physicochemical...
Fast pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass constitutes a promising technology to reduce dependence on fossil fuels. The product, pyrolysis liquids, can either substitute heavy fuel oil directly, or be upgraded via e.g. hydroprocessing to diesel and petrol. This study presents a systematic evaluation of production costs and CO2 mitigation potentials of different fast pyrolysis value chain configurations...
Conversion of pomegranate peel (PP), which is an abundant and valuable by-product of fruit juice industry to value added product such as ethanol, instead of discharging as agro-industrial waste was aimed in this study. Some important parameters such as H2SO4 pretreatment (0.5%, 1%, 1.5% v/v), fermentation period (6, 12, 24 h), initial substrate loading (from 2.5 to 150 g/L) were optimized in the first...
In this study, combustion performance of dual-injection using n-butanol direct-injection (DI) and gasoline port fuel-injection (PFI) was evaluated. Dual-injection with various mass fraction of gasoline PFI and n-butanol DI were examined in a single cylinder SI engine operating at 1500 r/min, wide-open-throttle and stoichiometric air-fuel ratio (λ = 1). Indicated mean effective pressure (IMEP), knock...
Biofuels mitigate and offset greenhouse gases. A long-term levelized cost of energy (LCOE) estimation for biofuels in China was carried out, using a novel probabilistic model to analyze the likelihood of biofuels economically outrunning fossil fuels. This model calculated LCOE based on five uncertain input parameters fed into a Monte Carlo simulation, namely, discount rate, firm size, feedstock price,...
