In situ catalytic hydrogenation of model compounds and biomass-derived phenolic compounds for bio-oil upgrading
The renewable phenolic compounds produced by directional liquefaction of biomass are a mixture of complete fragments decomposed from native lignin. These compounds are unstable and difficult to use directly as biofuel. Here, we report an efficient in situ catalytic hydrogenation method that can convert phenolic compounds into saturated cyclohexanes. The process has high potential for production...
متن کاملSustainable Nutrient Management Package for Cost-effective Bioenergy Biomass Production
Commercial fertilizer (particularly nitrogen) costs account for a substantial portion of the total production costs of cellulosic biomass and can be a major obstacle to biofuel production. In a series of greenhouse studies, we evaluated the feasibility of co-applying Gibberellins (GA) and reduced nitrogen (N) rates to produce a bioenergy crop less expensively. In a preliminary study, we determi...
متن کاملCatalytic upgrading of biomass-derived methyl ketones to liquid transportation fuel precursors by an organocatalytic approach.
A highly efficient water-tolerant, solid-base catalyst for the self-condensation of biomass-derived methyl ketones to jet-diesel fuel precursors was developed by grafting site-isolated secondary amines on silica-alumina supports. It is shown that apart from the nature and density of amine groups and the spatial separation of the acidic and basic sites, the acidity of the support material plays ...
متن کاملCost-Effective Determination of Biomass from Aerial Images
This paper describes an ongoing collaborative research program between the Computer Science and the Forestry and Wildlife Management Departments at the University of Massachusetts to develop cost-effective methodologies for monitoring biomass and other environmental parameters over large areas. The data acquisition system consists of a differential GPS system, a 3-axis solid state inertial refe...
متن کاملTechnology Upgrading with Learning Cost
Adoption of new technology requires diversion of human and physical resources from direct production activities to learning/adjusting activities, which could reduce productivity temporarily. Focusing on the existence of such “learning cost”, we derive a simple model on the optimal timing for technology upgrading. This model suggests that, other things being equal, a firm perceived to have bette...
