Production of Iron from Mill Scale Industrial Waste via Hydrogen

Bio-hydrogen production from waste materials

Hydrogen is a valuable gas as a clean energy source and as feedstock for some industries. Therefore, demand on hydrogen production has increased considerably in recent years. Electrolysis of water, steam reforming of hydrocarbons and auto-thermal processes are well-known methods for hydrogen gas production, but not cost-effective due to high energy requirements. Biological production of hydroge...

Enviro-Friendly Hydrogen Generation From Steel Mill-Scale via Metal-Steam Reforming

Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society Vol. 26, No. 4, August 2006, 305-313 DOI: 10.1177/0270467606290710 Copyright © 2006 Sage Publications An economically viable and environmental friendly method of generating hydrogen for fuel cells is by the reaction of certain metals with steam, called metalsteam reforming (MSR). This technique does not generate any toxic by-products nor contributes to ...

Active carbon manufacture : iron oxides suitable for Thermit from mill scale and a resinous molding compound from citrus waste

Anaerobic Digestion of Laminaria japonica Waste from Industrial Production Residues in Laboratory- and Pilot-Scale

The cultivation of macroalgae to supply the biofuel, pharmaceutical or food industries generates a considerable amount of organic residue, which represents a potential substrate for biomethanation. Its use optimizes the total resource exploitation by the simultaneous disposal of waste biomaterials. In this study, we explored the biochemical methane potential (BMP) and biomethane recovery of ind...

Simulation and modeling of hydrogen production from glucose biomass model compound via hydro-thermal gasification

Glucose is a 6-carbon carbohydrate compound present in plants and the ingredient for hemicellulose which makes up 30% of plants’ total mass. The current study uses glucose as reactant and evaluates hydrogen generation at different temperatures and different amounts of input flow of glucose – water mixture. Hydrothermal gasification method is used for hydrogen generation in an open system with c...
