A technical and economic evaluation of selected biomass-to-fuels conversion processes
(Norman : [s.n.],, 1979)The major objective of this study was to determine the economic and technical feasibility of existing methods for producing readily useable fuel from biomass. A thorough literature search was undertaken in an effort to ... -
Biosurfactants: Characterization, Microemulsion Formation and Potential Applications
(2009)Biosurfactants, which are produced from microorganisms, have become of interest due to their non-toxic nature, their biodegradability and their production from renewable resources. Research has evaluated the use of ... -

Catalytic Reactions for Upgrading Bio-oils and Petroleum Fuels
(2010)The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has derived the tremendous interest of our society in making uses of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ... -
Combined Experimental and Computational Studies of Model Compounds to Gain Understanding of Catalytic Upgrading of Bio-Oils
(2011)Scientific research is mainly based upon observation and experiment, and accordingly, the purpose of theoretical study is to provide the conceptual framework for the prediction and explanation of observation. Consequently, ... -
Conversion of acids to alcohols by Clostridium ragsdalei strain P11: Process optimization and biochemistry
(2013)Research focus was directed toward the development of a biocatalyst that can be used to produce commodity chemicals and transportation fuels from volatile fatty acids ubiquitous in waste biomass. Clostridium ragsdalei was ... -
Conversion of Oxygenates from Biomass-Derived Compounds over Supported Metal Catalysts
(2012)The increasing consumption and phase-out of conventional fuels has caused the tremendous interest of our society in making use of renewable energy resources such as biomass. In response to this interest, bio-oil produced ... -
Formation and Characterization of Vegetable Oil Microemulsions and Their Application in Oilseed Extraction and Biofuel
(2010)Microemulsions are thermodynamically stable dispersions of oil and water stabilized by a film of surfactants and/or co-surfactants. They have numerous applications in food, oilseed extraction, drug and cosmetic delivery, ... -

MOLECULAR ENGINEERING STRATEGIES FOR THE PRODUCTION OF FUELS FROM CONVENTIONAL AND RENEWABLE RESOURCES
(2009)The combination of Quantitative Structure Property Relationships (QSPR) with experimental studies using model compounds provides great promise for fuel upgrading. Through this approach, QSPR software is utilized to predict ... -
Phenotypic, Chemotaxonomic and Genomic Characterization of a Novel Anaerobic Acetogen, Clostridium muelleri sp. nov. P21T Isolated from Old Hay
(2020-05)Acetogens are a group of obligately anaerobic bacteria that use the Wood-Ljungdahl (acetyl-CoA) pathway for the production of acetyl-CoA from 2 moles of CO2. Acetyl-CoA is then converted to various acids and alcohols such ... -
PRODUCTION OF ALKYL-AROMATICS FROM LIGHT OXYGENATES OVER ZEOLITE CATALYSTS FOR BIO-OIL REFINING
(2010)Upgrading of light oxygenates derived from biomass conversion, such as propanal and glycerol, to more valuable aromatics for biofuels has been demonstrated on zeolite catalysts. Aromatics with a high ratio of C9/(C8+C7) ...
