The use of syngas derived from biomass and waste products to produce ethanol and hydrogen

چکیده

Much attention has been placed on finding efficient processes for the production of ethanol and other biofuels. One area that shows promise is the conversion of synthesis gas (syngas) to ethanol and hydrogen by both thermochemical and microbiological methods. Two promising methods for creating syngas are the gasification of plant biomass and the pyrolysis of carbonbased waste products. Overall the process of converting syngas generated from waste products to ethanol and hydrogen can greatly reduce the use of imported petroleum fuels and also reduce the effects of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.

Gasification, Producer Gas and Syngas - FSA1051

Gasification involves turning organic fuels (such as biomass resources) into gaseous compounds (producer gas or syngas) by supplying less oxygen than is needed for com­ plete combustion of the fuel. Gasifica­ tion occurs at temperatures between 1112o and 2732o F and produces a lowto medium-energy gas depending upon the process type and operating conditions. Gasification of biomass resources is ...

Utilization of Algal Consortium to Produce Biofuels and Byproducts For Reducing Pollution load

Algal biorefinery process utilizes every component of algal biomass to produce multiple useful fuel products. In this technique, acid pretreatment of algal biomass hydrolyzes microalgal carbohydrates into fermentable sugars, makes lipids more extractable and a protein part accessible for additional products. In the present study, Chlorella sorkiniana produced higher quantity of biodiesel than B...
