Development Of Ionic Catalysts For The Water-gas Shift Reaction And Exhaust Gas Purification
(2013-04-04)Treatment of fuel cell feed H2 for the removal of CO is important owing to the poisoning of the catalysts, thereby affecting the performance of the fuel cell. Strong and preferential adsorption of CO over the catalyst takes ... -
Lignin and Extractive Tracing - an Alternative approach to Assess and Predict Biogas Yields and Production Rates among Tropical Biomass Feedstocks
Predicting biogas yields from the composition of biomass feedstocks has been difficult primarily due to the variations found in their chemical composition and structure of lignocellulosics. This study aims at understanding, ... -
Methanol Synthesis from Simulated Bio-syngas: Experimental and Modeling Studies
Methanol is increasingly being considered as an alternative fuel due to its potential to reduce environmental pollution and its ability to be used directly in internal combustion engines without any engine modification. ... -
Photocatalytic and Photoelectrocatalytic systems for water remediation and energy applications
This PhD work consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on photocatalytic systems for water remediation from bacteria and phenolic compounds, and the second part deals with photoelectrocatalytic systems for biomass ... -
Thermochemical conversion of biomass – single particle and packed bed: Experimental and Numerical Studies
The current work uses experimental and numerical techniques to analyze the thermochemical conversion of a single biomass particle exposed to various reactive environments – varying temperatures and O2, CO2 and H2O ... -
Valorization of Residual Ligno-celluloses from Anaerobic Digesters Through Product Recovery
Complete digestion of lignocellulosic biomass during anaerobic digestion (AD) is impossible due to recalcitrance created by lignin, consequently leaving behind a significant part of the feedstock unconverted to methane. ...
