Pyrolysis of Table Sugar

Pyrolysis of Table Sugar

Table sugars were pyrolyzed at different temperatures (300, 400, and 500°C) in a fixed-bed reactor. The effect of pyrolysis temperature on yields of liquid, solid, and gaseous products was investigated. As expected the yield of liquid products gradually increased and the yield of solid products gradually decreased when the pyrolysis temperature was raised. The yield of liquid products was great...

Vitamin D poisoning by table sugar.

In June 1999, a 29-year-old man came to the emergency department with right-sided flank pain, conjunctivitis, anorexia, fever, chills, increased thirst, and vomiting. He had lost 5 kg in weight, and was in acute renal failure. He was treated with steroids and discharged. In October, 1999, his 63-year-old father came to the emergency department with similar complaints. He was also in acute renal...

Pretreatment optimization methods for increased sugar yields from biomass pyrolysis

In the search for a renewable energy source that could replace petroleum and other nonrenewable energy sources, pyrolysis of biomass is a hopeful alternative and pretreatment could further improve its potential. There are several possible routes for pretreating lignocellulosic biomass, but many need further refining before becoming economical. The main obstacle for the conversion of biomass to ...
