Management of citric solid wastes to produce bioethanol

Ottati C., Ares F., Damboriarena A., Lopretti M., LATU, UY

Citrus peel wastes are partly used for cattle feed either fresh or after ensilage or dehydration, but considerable quantity of citrus pulp in the fresh state is lost as a result of the difficulty of [...]

Advanced Biofuel Cell Composed of Highly Modified Electrodes for Biomedical Applications

Leung S.W., Lai J.C.K., Idaho State University, US

A biofuel cell comprised an anode and cathode modified with highly branched polymers, nano Au sol-gel, and reaction specified bioenzymes was constructed. In this study, lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) were the enzymes [...]

Biomass Power Generation Using Liquid Tin Anode SOFC

Bentley J., Tao T., CellTech Power LLC, US

Currently biomass contributes only 1% of U.S. electric power despite available resources to provide over 20%. Barriers to increased use of biopower include low efficiency of current generators, high capital cost, low fuel energy, feedstock [...]

A Characteristic Analysis of Bio-ethanol produced on Fruit wastes for Direct Ethanol Fuel Cell(DEFC)

Kim H., Lee N., Cha I., Choi J., Center for Organic Agrifood industrialization, KR

This Study is aimed to produce bio-ethanol based on the fruit wastes and optimize the bio-ethanol production for a direct ethanol fuel cell(DEFC). Fruit wastes such as pear, apple, persimmon were used in the conditions [...]

Microwave-mediated Pyrolysis of Biomass

Gronnow M.J., Budarin V.L., Fan J., Shuttleworth P.S., MacQuarrie D.J., Clark J.H., Green Chemistry Centre of Excellence, UK

Biomass can be seen as the oil well of the future; a renewable, widely distributed resource that should be increasingly exploited for the production of heat and power, liquid fuels as well as chemicals and [...]

Catalytic Subcritical Hydropyrolysis of Waste Biomass into Gasoline Range Hydrocarbons

Tungal R., Shende R.V., South Dakota School of Mines and Technology, US

Catalytic aqueous phase reforming (CAPR) of the biomass has a great potential for the production of H2 and hydrocarbons. This study reports synthesis of novel nanoscale bifunctional catalytic material and its utilization in CAPR process [...]

Wind Energy Potential Estimation in India

VijayaVenkataRaman S., Iniyan S., Suganthi L., Goic R., Anna University Chennai, India, IN

The most daunting problem of today’s world is the global climate change, which is predominantly due to the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Increasing negative effects of fossil fuel combustion on the environment in addition to [...]

Low-cost 3D Wind Anemometers for Architectural Wind Modeling and Prediction

Hirano J., Garmire D., University of Hawaii at Manoa, US

As wind power generation becomes more popular especially in urban areas, it becomes important to understand wind flow on a small scale accounting for the effects of building topology and neighboring buildings for wind-energy availability. [...]

Analysis of a Onshore Wind Farm in India for Sustainable Development

Iniyan S., Anna University Chennai, IN

In this paper, the status like performance, reliability and various problems of a wind farm which is located at Muppandal, southern part of India have been analysed. This wind farm has 15 numbers of wind [...]
