Simultaneous cracking of phenolic compounds and hydrocarbons over zeolites
(2014)
Co-processing bio-oils with hydrocarbons in conventional refinery processes has been considered as a promising strategy for upgrading and producing fuels from alternative sources. Co-feeding the phenolic fraction to the ...
Catalytic Hydrodeoxygenation of Phenolic Compounds of Importance in Bio-oil Upgrading
(2014-05)
Economic and environmental concerns including the increasing energy consumption and demand, ensuring energy security, reducing green-house gas emission and producing cleaner energy have caused tremendous interest in research ...
Transport Phenomena in Micro Scale Channels and Pores by Numerical Simulations
(2014-12-12)
In this thesis, the lattice Boltzmann method (LBM) in conjunction with the Lagrangian particle tracking (LPT) algorithm are employed to numerically investigate: (i) the hydraulic responses to a linear array of finite-length ...
Understanding Catalytic Strategies for Bio-oil Upgrading: Model Compound Studies
(2014-08-15)
In light of the awareness about climate change and the role that non-renewable sources of energy have had on this issue, there has been a notable effort in the last decades to develop alternative sources of energy. Conversion ...
DEVELOPMENT OF NANOSTRUCTURED ENZYMATIC BIOFUEL CELLS
(2014-12-12)
Nanostructured enzymatic biofuel cells with high power density output and prolonged lifetime were developed by the incorporation of carbon nanotubes into redox polymer-enzyme films. The performance of the enzymatic biofuel ...
Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Lithium Ion Composite Cathodes
(2014-08-13)
Batteries are sought that can deliver high energy density and high power density over thousands of cycles, with minimum environmental impact and cost. Invariably no one material can achieve all of these requirements. Lithium ...
