Modification of dolomite for hydrogen production via catalytic gasification of residue derived from biomass hydrolysis
Calcined dolomite is a good catalyst in terms of its activity for gasification of residue derived from biomass hydrolysis for hydrogen production, whereas its fragility can cause trouble during operation. A novel modification method aimed at improving the strength of the calcined dolomite has been presented using magnesium nitrate as the modifier, which was introduced into the dolomite via a ...

Kinetics of xylose in hydrolysate using dilute sulphuric acid as catalyst
In the technology of manufacturing fuel alcohol from biomass as feedstock, hydrolysis using dilute acid as catalyst is one way to produce fermentable saccharide. In this process, the yield of xylose is always low because of the degrading during the acid environment. In this paper, the degrading kinetics of xylose in the hydrolysate was investigated under the conventional process conditions of the ...

Comparison of response surface methodology and artificial neural network for optimum levulinic acid production from glucose, empty fruit bunch and kenaf
Levulinic acid (LA) is one of the versatile chemicals that can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass. In this study, response surface methodology (RSM) and artificial neural network (ANN) were applied to optimise LA yield from glucose, empty fruit bunch (EFB) and kenaf. The effect of process variables namely reaction temperature, reaction time and acid concentration on LA production was ...

Effect of initial biomass on cellulose hydrolysis by leachate communities
Batch anaerobic digestions were performed in 160 ml serum vials, cellulose (1% wt) was the sole added carbon source. All reactors were inoculated with a 10% (v/v) leachate inoculum. The concentration of micro-organisms in the leachate inoculums was increased using centrifugation to investigate the effect of initial biomass on hydrolysis performance. The hydrolysis rate constant for digestions ...

Understanding the key benefits of a Biomass Pyrolysis Plant
Ever thought about exactly how the charcoal briquettes that you just accustomed to grill with were made? The answer is biomass carbonization. A biomass pyrolysis plant takes organic matter, including wood, and transforms it into a fuel source which can be burned for energy. Not only is this process environmentally friendly, additionally it results in a valuable product that can be sold ...
