Reliable Elemental Analysis for Nitrogen, Sulfur, and Chlorine in Biofuels

First-generation biofuels are already widespread and well established. These are manufactured using processes such as the fermentation of sugar and starch and the hydrocracking of vegetable oils and animal fats. Hydrocracking is a catalytic, hydrogen-based cracking process for producing hydrocarbons of higher molecular weight. Innovative technologies that can extract biofuels from cellulosic ...

What is an Ashing Furnace?

Ashing is the process of expelling organic material from a sample before it is analyzed. For ashing to take place, complete combustion of the sample is critical to yield accurate results, and this ...
