Introduction to High Pressure CO2 and H2O Technologies in Sustainable Biomass Processing

چکیده
Petroleum is a major raw material for the production of fuels, chemicals and materials used in our daily lives. The continuous growth in the consumption of these products requires the increased exploitation of fossil resources. In turn, this exploitation has led to environmental and economic issues linked to climate change, resource depletion and political instabilities due to the unequal distribution of fossil deposits. The global primary energy consumption increased by a constant rate of 2.4% per year 0.08% since 1850 and shows no sign of slowing down. The global community, increasingly aware of the dangers linked to diminishing fossil reserves and climate change, is encouraging the development of renewable carbon sources.

Background: Iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of CO2 emissions resulting from the fuel combustion in the world. Gas compressor booster stations, due to the several sources of contaminants, are causing the release of large amounts of CO2 and CH4, which will cause climate change therefore, estimating the emissions of the gases from oil and gas, different processing units are necessary....
متن کاملDetermination of Suitable Concentrations of H2O and CO2 in the Feed of Syngas Production (RESEARCH NOTE)
Modeling and optimization of synthesis gas production via the non-catalytic partial oxidation of methane (NCPO) were studied by minimizing of Gibbs free energy, and comparison studies were carried out to analyze the mechanism of syngas production. For this purpose, concentrations of CO2 and H2O in the feed were optimized in specified pressure and temperature, such that the hydrogen to carbon mo...
