Generation of Transportation Fuel from Solid Municipal Waste Plastics
Transportation fuels derived from imported fossil fuels are subjected to the price fluctuations of the global marketplace, and constitute a major expense in the operation of a vehicle. Emissions from the evaporation and combustion of [...]
Diesel Production from Waste Disposal using Catalytic Dissociation on Mn-zeolite Catalyst
The approach for catalytic dissociation of waste diaposal using various catalysts is presented. This approach includes two principal steps: a characterization of catalysts is used to determine the active site of prepared catalysts, and the [...]
Replacing natural gas with biogas in the methanol production
The dependence of natural gas may be replaced by renewable sources of second generation - nonfood source. Methanol is produced from synthesis gas, which is produced from natural gas. Natural gas can be replaced by [...]
Development of ceramic support for methane reformer from alkali aluminosilicates
Martinello Savi B., Fernandes Silvano W., da Silva L., Bernardin A.M., University of the Extreme South of Santa Catarina, BR
This work deals with the initial development of a ceramic reformer based on alkali metal aluminosilicates coated with nickel for the generation of hydrogen from biogas (methane). The understanding of the microstructural evolution of silicon-aluminum [...]
Biomethane as a substitute for natural gas
The world’s energy consumption keeps its tendency to increase, and the natural gas stands out as one of fuels where this trend is more significant. The environmental benefits in the use of natural gas, comparing [...]
Segregation of Binary Mixtures of Biomass Wastes in Clean Technology of Spouted Bed
Spouted bed technology is suitable for the thermal treatment of biomass by combustion (San José et al., 2002) and by pyrolysis (Aguado et al., 2000, 2002; Olazar et al., 2001). Therefore, it would be adequate [...]
New Process for Production of Bio-Diesel from Vegetable Oil
NEW PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF BIO-DIESEL FROM VEGETABLE OIL Low-cost, high-capacity processes for the conversion of biomass into fuels and chemicals are essential for expanding the utilization of carbon neutral processes, reducing dependency on fossil [...]
Electric Power Generation with Torrefied Biomass
A new breakthrough has been made in converting biomass into a usable fuel. This new process uses liquid immersion heat treatment to make torrefied wood. Prior testing has shown that this system should prove to [...]
