In the quest for inexpensive feedstocks for the cost-effective production of liquid fuels, we have examined gaseous substrates that could be made available at low cost and sufficiently large scale for industrial fuel production. Here we introduce a new bioconversion scheme that effectively converts syngas, generated from gasification of coal, natural gas, or biomass, into lipids that can be use...

With the aim of bringing heterogeneous electro-Fenton (EF) treatment one step closer to a more realistic operation, scaling-up that technology was evaluated. Assays were performed firstly at lab scale in stirred-tank reactor and then bench flow setup including jet aerator microfluidic flow-through electrochemical cell. A fluidized-bed added bench-scale installation order retain solid catalyst, ...

The objective of this study was to determine whether ultraviolet-light-emitting diodes (UV-LEDs) could serve as an efficient photon source for heterogeneous photocatalytic oxidation (PCO). An LED module consisting of 12 high-power UV-A (lambda max = 365 nm) LEDs was designed to be interchangeable with a UV-A fluorescent black light blue (BLB) lamp for a bench scale annular reactor packed with s...

Renewable hydrogen may be produced in the near term at a cost that is competitive with natural gas reforming by integrating hydrogen production with existing industrial utilization of agricultural residues. A team of government, industrial, and academic organizations is developing a steam reforming process to be demonstrated on the gaseous byproducts from a process for making activated carbon f...

BACKGROUND Dilute acid pretreatment is a promising process technology for the deconstruction of low-lignin lignocellulosic biomass, capable of producing high yields of hemicellulosic sugars and enhancing enzymatic yields of glucose as part of a biomass-to-biofuels process. However, while it has been extensively studied, most work has historically been conducted at relatively high acid concentra...

according to the few studies in active rest interval between the resistance exercises sets, it can’t be explicitly commented about the effect of it on performance in consecutive sets. purpose: the purpose of the current study was to compare different active and passive rest interval durations (3 and 4 minutes) on the numbers of repetition of bench press with 50 and 75 percent of 1rm in untraine...

This work investigates the effect of production scales (laboratory, bench, and pilot) by pyrolysis Açaí (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) seeds at 450 °C 1.0 atmosphere, on yields reaction products acid value bio-oils. The experiments were carried out in batch mode using a laboratory scale reactor 143 mL, bench 1.5 L, pilot L (≈1:10:1000). bio-oil was obtained scale, fractionated distillation to produce...

Microcombustion attracts interest with its promise of energy dense power generation for electronics. Yet, challenges remain to develop this technology further. Thermal management heat losses is a known hurdle. Simultaneously, non-uniformities in release within the reaction regions also affect device performance. Therefore combination thermal strategies are necessary further performance enhancem...

Abstract The ionoSolv process is one of the most promising technologies for biomass pretreatment in a biorefinery context. In order to evaluate transition from bench-scale experiments commercial scale, there need get better insight intensification. this work, effects loading, particle size, pulp washing protocols and 100-fold scale up grassy Miscanthus giganteus with IL triethylammonium hydroge...
