A self-powered glucose monitor

Kulkarni T., Mburu N., Slaughter G., University of Maryland Baltimore County, US
Glucose substrates are successfully harnessed to generate electricity in a membraneless biofuel cell with a mesh-network of carbon nanotubes pyroquinoline quinone glucose dehydrogenase-modified anode and a laccase-modified cathode. Using glucose as a substrate, this glucose-oxygen [...]

Electrochemical Production of Hydrocarbons for Lubricants, Waxes and Fuels from Biological Feedstocks

Joshi C., Malevich D., Dambacher J., Lockwood F., Altranex Corporation, CA
Altranex Corporation produces hydrocarbons from biologically-derived fats, oils and greases. Through a patented combination of electro- and thermo-chemical processes, Altranex can produce hydrocarbons for use as high-performance lubricant base oils, cosmetic-quality waxes and mineral oils, [...]

Nitrogen-modified biomass-derived porous carbon for electric double layer capacitors application

Wang K., Gu Z., Fan Q., South Dakota State University, US
This work shows that N-doped carbon can be derived from pyrrole modified biomass-lignin. Simultaneous chemical and physical activation using potassium hydroxide during the heat treatment can effectively create porous N-doped carbon. The activated carbon possesses [...]

Thermal Transformation of Aqueous Lignin Suspension into Nanoparticle Dispersion and Its Associative Properties

Zhaoquing L., Gast J.C., Bottorff K.J., Solenis LLC, US
LIGNIN IS THE SECOND MOST ABUNDANT BIOPOLYMER. NANOPARTICLE DISPERSIONS OF LIGNIN WERE OBTAINED BY SIMPLY HEATING IN A CONTROLLED MANNER A PARTIALLY NEUTRALIZED LIGNIN SUSPENSION IN WATER. THE LIGNIN NANOPARTICLES WERE FOUND TO FORM STABLE [...]

The Electrobiome® Platform: Synthesis of ElectroFuels and Chemicals from CO2

May H.D., LaBelle E.V., Synbiohm LLC and Medical University of South Carolina, US
Technology: Dr. May and colleagues have discovered and developed the Electrobiome® which converts CO2, water, and electricity into hydrogen (H2), formic acid, and acetic acid while serving as a biocathode in an electrochemical cell. Synbiohm [...]

The Effect of Intermediate Ozonation Process on Improving Biogas Production from Co-Digestion of Agricultural Waste and Manure

AlMomani F., Bhosale R., Kumar A., Qatar University, QA
Millions tons of solid waste (SW) are generated from agricultural, municipal, and industrial sources every year. The amounts of SW are expected to increase exponentially in the coming decades, due to the growth of the [...]

Production of Synthetic Fuel from Anaerobic Digester Gas

Frost L., Hartvigsen J., Elangovan E., Ceramatec Inc, US
The waste generated from feed lots, dairy farms, meat processing, etc can be converted to a mixture of methane and carbon dioxide using anaerobic digestion. The methane can be converted to synthesis gas and subsequently [...]

Development of a Renewable Fuel Nanotechnology

Klausmeier V., Sylvatex Inc., US
The authors have developed a technology to blend biomass-derived oxygenates - alcohols, free fatty acids, neutralizer, and water – together to form a renewable blendstock. When blended into diesel, the resulting microemulsion fuel has been [...]

The Unbeatable Beet: Biorefining Of Sugar Beet Pulp

Nolles R., Staps F., van Engelen G., Cosun Biobased Products, US
ABSTRACT (max. 500 words) Introduction There are many definitions of biorefining, like the one provided by the US Department of Energy in 1997 “A biorefinery is an overall concept of a processing plant where biomass [...]

Regulatory Impediments to Commercializing Biofuel and Other Biobased Products

Roberts K.M., Biobased and Renewable Products Advocacy Group, US
As renewable fuel and biobased chemical companies successfully make the leap from research and development to market, they face another set of underappreciated regulatory challenges in order to lawfully commercialize their products. Under the Toxic [...]
