Bio synthetic natural gas (Bio-SNG) is being proposed as an alternative to the natural gas of fossil origin (NG) [1]. Bio-SNG consists mainly of CH4 (at least 95%mol), has a high heating value (e.g. 10 kWh/m3N), and respects the quality standards of the NG ...
When using natural or waste wood in thermo-chemical conversion processes, the presence of a number of heteroatoms (e.g. sulfur, chlorine, potassium and sodium or heavy metals) may hinder the processes themselves as well as pose a threat to equipment and/or ...
Within the global challenge of climate change and energy security, hydrogen is considered as a promising decarbonized energy vector to be used in electricity production and transportation. In this paper, the thermo-chemical production of hydrogen by natura ...
The aim of this project was to reduce the fuel gas consumption of an existing gas refinery. Using pinch technology, it was found that energy savings up to 20% were possible on the process side. The entire plant was modeled in an energy integration tool in ...
Micro solid-oxide fuel cells (μ-SOFCs) based on microfabrication processes are a promising alternative to batteries for supplying portable electronics, as very high energy densities may be achieved. However, a complete μ-SOFC module is a quite intricate st ...
A modular approach for the synthesis of cage structures is described. Reactions of [(arene)RuCl2]2 [arene = p-cymene, 1,3,5-C6H3Me3, 1,3,5-C6H3(i-Pr)3] with formyl-substituted 3-hydroxy-2-pyridone ligands provide trinuclear metallamacrocycles with pendant ...
A method for predicting selective performance of an adsorbent is disclosed. The adsorbent is selected from a list of metals and/or metal cations for use in removing contaminants as thiophene derivatives in hydrocarbon feed. The metals or metal cations are ...
