Preliminary Investigation into the Cold Plasma Powered Water Gas Shift Reaction – Experiments And Analysis
Water gas shift reaction (CO + H2O ↔ H2 + CO2) is a CO oxidation reaction in the presence of steam resulting in the formation of H2 and CO2. Traditionally, water gas shift (WGS) reaction is achieved using multiple catalytic ...
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. ...
Biodiesel from Estuarine Microalgae - Diatoms
Rapidly depleting fossil fuel reserves with the burgeoning demand, associated escalating GHG footprint, and changes in the climate necessitated the exploration of alternate sustainable energy resources that are renewable, ...
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, ...
Investigations into Incineration of Sanitary Napkin Waste Using Single Chamber Incinerator
Commercially available disposable sanitary napkins are the most common method of menstrual hygiene management in most urban regions of India (van Eijk, 2016) (Mathiyalagen et al., 2017). It is estimated that in India a ...
Modeling and Analysis of Hybrid Renewable Energy for Power Generation
Renewable energy-based power has gained significant global momentum—to minimize fossil-fuel use, combat climate change, and ensure energy security. While renewable energy (RE) is fast-growing, stand-alone single resource-based ...
Fate and Remediation of Ammonium-n In Pit Toilet Blackwater
Pit toilets satisfy the sanitation requirement in regions with no access to piped sewerage facilities. Black water discharged from pit toilets is a major source of groundwater pollution. The primary focus of the thesis is ...
Evaluation of Btex Contamination in Bengaluru Groundwater and Remediation of Contaminated Water Samples
BTEX (benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene, and xylene isomers) are monoaromatic, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with single benzene ring and various degree of alkylation. US EPA classifies benzene and TEX (toluene, ethylbenzene, ...
Bioremediation of Mechanically and Biologically Treated Waste Of Bangalore City: An Experimental and Numerical Study
Remediation of the existing MSW dumpsites has received considerable attention these days and there is an urgent need to address this issue in order to maintain the over hygiene of the urban environment. An approach consisting ...
Syngas Fueled Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (Sofc) – Experiments and Analysis on Gas Characterization and Cell Performance
The present research addresses the complexities involved in the use of syngas as a fuel in a Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC). Solid oxide fuel cell is an efficient, clean direct energy conversion device. Being a fuel flexible ...
