Sustainable hydrogen production can be achieved efficiently by steam reforming of bio-ethanol. The use low-cost and abundant minerals as catalyst supports further improve the sustainability process....

In this research paper a novel Ultra Violet Photo Catalyst Oxidation (UVPCO) sensor for air and surface sanitization using Common Source (CS) amplifier is presented. The ultra violet photo catalysis is the process in which the highly reactive radicals like H+, OH-and peroxides ions are produced from air in the presence of the ultra violet radiation and photo catalyst. In this process, the free ...

Carboxylic acids are ubiquitous in bio-renewable and petrochemical sources of carbon. Hydrogenation of carboxylic acids to yield alcohols produces water as the only byproduct, and thus represents a possible next generation, sustainable method for the production of these alternative energy carriers/platform chemicals on a large scale. Reported herein are molecular insights into cationic mononucl...

The article presents the experimental data on the extraction and transesterification of bio-oil derived from Stoechospermum marginatum, a brown macro marine algae. The samples were collected from Mandapam region, Gulf of Mannar, Tamil Nadu, India. The bio-oil was extracted using Soxhlet technique with a lipid extraction efficiency of 24.4%. Single stage transesterification was adopted due to lo...

In the paper will be presented a safety and security system based on fingerprint technology. The results suggest a new scenario where the new cars can use a fingerprint sensor integrated in car handle to allow access and in the dashboard as starter button. Introduction One of the most relevant question in the security world is how identify and recognize people not only in some protected areas w...

Laccases belongs to multinuclear copper-containing oxidase and can act on a variety of aromatic and non-aromatic compounds. Due to their broad substrate specificity, they are considered as a promising candidate in various industrial and biotechnological sectors. They are regarded as a “Green Tool”/“Green Catalyst” in biotechnology. The present review focuses on structure, reaction mechanism, ca...

Catalytic microwave pyrolysis of biomass using activated carbon (AC) was investigated to determine the effects of pyrolytic conditions on the yields of phenol and phenolics. Bio-oils with high concentrations of phenol (38.9%) and phenolics (66.9%) were obtained. These levels were higher than those obtained by pyrolysis without AC addition and were closely related to the decomposition of lignin....

Aqueous-phase reforming (APR) of the low-boiling fraction (LBF) of bio-oil from rice husk pyrolysis was investigated over Pt/Al(2)O(3) for hydrogen production. The influence of reaction temperature (503-563 K), reaction time (1-4h), different load of organics in water (3-12 wt.%) and catalyst amounts (0.25-1g) were studied. The hydrogen content of the gas products reached 65 vol.% at 533 K for ...

This study proposes a screen of variables that have an influence on the modification bio-oil chemical composition as unique critical quality attribute (CQA) throughout pyrolytic process (zeolite, ZSM-5) by using 24 full factorial design, followed optimization through response surface methodology (RSM) based central composite design (CCD) involving samples biomass sorghum BRS716 (Sorghum bicolor...

Abstract Hydrothermal liquefaction technology was applied for treating waste Al-PE-Pa laminated packaging bio-oil production at 360 °C, 20 MPa and 30 min. Ni 10 Ce x /Al 2 O 3 catalyst used to upgrade the quality of bio-oil. The effect Ni:Ce on yield, elements compounds distributions were investigated. Results showed that maximum yield 35.53 wt% obtained with 5 loading. In addition, content dec...
