This study was conducted to determine whether selecting an optimum sowing date couldimprove yield. The experiment consisted of sowing a film-covered, drip-irrigated cotton field onfour sowing dates from April to May in 2011-2012 at the Agrometeorological ExperimentalStation of Wulanwusu, which was in an arid region of north-western China. Late sowing datesproduced less yield and water-use effic...

As many countries have tried to construct a hydrogen (H2) society escape the conventional energy paradigm by using fossil fuels, methane pyrolysis (MP) has received lot of attention owing its ability produce H2 with no CO2 emission. In this study, techno-economic analysis including process simulation, itemized cost estimation, and sensitivity scenario was conducted for system thermal-based cata...

For the successful commercialization of PEM fuel cells for portable power and transportation applications, there is a strong need to lower the amount of water-gas shift catalyst used within fuel processor for H2 production/purification. While most recent studies have improved the current understanding of water-gas shift catalysis, especially regarding structural-property relationships and catal...

This work presents the dynamic simulation of a novel sorption-enhanced water-gas shift reactor used for synthesis gas production from pure CO in an e-fuels process. Due to intended decentralized plant installation associated with fluctuating feed, process intensification and compact system is required. An optimized operating procedure was obtained by simulation-driven design maximize sorbent lo...

High temperature biosyngas cleaning is more efficient when the end user operates at elevated temperature, as in biomass gasifier solid oxide fuel cell systems. However, there not much experience with this technology and low gas usually adopted. This paper advances current knowledge by presenting results from investigation of side reactions catalysed commercially available sorbents involving mai...
