The choice of appropriate reactors and reforming strategies is key to make progresses on scaling up H2 production processes from raw bio-oil. This work compares the performance (conversion, product yields deactivation) packed-bed fluidized-bed (PBR FBR, respectively) using a NiAl2O4 spinel derived catalyst for bio-oil via steam (SR) sorption enhanced SR (SESR, with dolomite capture CO2). experi...

Fast pyrolysis is an efficient technique for thermal degradation of lignin to bio-oils containing bio-phenols for the synthesis of adhesives, resins, and polymers. Lignin has a complex structure, and hence a large number of pyrolytic components are generated during the pyrolysis process. The composition of the pyrolytic products depends on the type of lignin, temperature, types of catalyst, and...

A major limitation in using membrane-based separation processes is the loss of performance due to membrane fouling. This drawback can be addressed thanks to surface modification treatments. A new and promising surface modification using green chemistry has been recently investigated. This modification is carried out at room temperature and in aqueous medium using green catalyst (enzyme) and non...

The reaction of nano-cellulose and antimony pentachloridein dichloromethane gave nano-cellulose-SbCl5. Also nano-cellulose-SbCl5 has beencharacterized by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy(EDX), scanning electron microscopy (SEM)and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FTIR).Nano-cellulose-SbCl5has been applied as a nano-catalyst for synthesis of pyrano[2,3-d]pyrimidines from the simple on...

Acetic acid is an essential chemical used in the production of many products. Using methanol as bio-building block, acetic produced may be incorporated bio-based This study deals with enhancing efficiency separations a process using homogeneous catalyst, which most applied today industrially. Several configurations for downstream processing by distillation are investigated effective combination...
