Hydrothermal Liquefaction to Convert Biomass into Crude Oil
All fossil fuels found in nature — petroleum, natural gas, and coal, based on biogenic hypothesis — are formed through processes of thermochemical conversion (TCC) from biomass buried beneath the ground and subjected to millions of years of high temperature and pressure. In particular, existing theories attribute that petroleum is from diatoms (algae) and deceased creatures and coal is from dep...
متن کاملRumen bacteria convert cellulose into electricity in two-chamber microbial fuel cell
This paper describes the development of a microbial fuel cell (MFC) for electricity production from cellulose that is based on mixed culture of rumen bacteria in vitro. The fibrolytic bacteria isolated from rumen fluid were used in anode compartment of MFC, which can release glucose up to 15 g/L from carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC). At the same time, the maximum power density of 100.60mWm was gen...
متن کاملWhat is the maximum efficiency with which photosynthesis can convert solar energy into biomass?
Photosynthesis is the source of our food and fiber. Increasing world population, economic development, and diminishing land resources forecast that a doubling of productivity is critical in meeting agricultural demand before the end of this century. A starting point for evaluating the global potential to meet this goal is establishing the maximum efficiency of photosynthetic solar energy conver...
متن کاملMacrophages can convert citrulline into arginine.
Rat peritoneal macrophages were incubated in the presence of 0.05-1.0 mM-[14C]citrulline. The synthesis of [14C]arginine from 0.1 mM-[14C]citrulline was about 300 pmol/h per 10(6) cells in macrophages from saline-injected (control) rats. Both arginine synthesis from citrulline and nitrate production (an indicator of NO generation) were increased about 3-fold in the cells from lipopolysaccharide...
متن کاملWill avilamycin convert ziracine into zerocine?
488 Emerging Infectious Diseases Vol. 7, No. 3, May–June 2001 sequencing, was also used to confirm the base calls of these 100 SNPs. The visual inspection of the electropherograms and the sequencing independent method were in good agreement and indicated that 80 (91%) of 88 successful assays of the nucleotide differences were genuine. Since our initial report, we have improved our methods for o...
