Production of alcohols via syngas fermentation using Alkalibaculum bacchi monoculture and a mixed culture
(2013-12)
Gasification-syngas fermentation is a hybrid conversion technology. In this process, feedstocks such as biomass or municipal solid waste are gasified to syngas (CO, H2 and CO2), which is then converted into biofuels and ...
Explicit finite element analysis of web-roller interaction in web process machinery
(2013-05)
A web can be defined as thin material manufactured and processed in continuous flexible strip form. A web is usually supported, guided and propelled by rollers. In order to make it travel through the process machine line, ...
