Extensive research has been done on examining the autotrophic growth of Acetobacterium woodii with gaseous substrates (hydrogen and carbon dioxide) to produce acetic acid. However, only limited work has been performed on the heterotrophic growth of A. woodii using pure sugars or lignocellulosic feedstocks-derived sugars as substrates. In this study...
C and atmospheric pressure. Firstly, the steam reforming (SR) of acetic acid, hydroxyacetone, furfural and phenol, as representative constituents of the bio-oil aqueous fraction, was carried out. Lower reactivity with increasing carbon number and decreasing steam-to-carbon ratio was observed. Coking rate during SR is a consequence of carbon number ...

TiO2 interaction. The catalysts have been thoroughly characterized using N2 adsorption, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-visible diffuse-reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and have been tested in the aqueous phase decomposition of acetic acid and in the gas phase oxidatio...
98%), and their pore morphologies were comparable at the same concentrations. However, the DDW- and DAC-based collagen scaffolds displayed significant differences in their physical properties (weight, thickness, and volume) and swelling behaviors. In particular, the weight losses induced by mechanical stimulation reflected the high degradation of D...
In this research study, two different wooden biomasses (birch and pine) were thermally carbonized and steam-activated into activated carbons in a one-stage process. The effects of particle size and humidity (as received and oven-dried) on the properties, such as specific surface areas, pore volumes, and pore size distributions, of the final activat...

PS/kg with up to 99% carbon recovery.
were co-leached into the solution, and no leaching selectivity was achieved between the impurities and the REEs. The solvent extraction experiments with D2EHPA in Solvent 70 on 1 mol/L leachates of both acetic acid and citric acid showed much higher affinity for Nd than Fe, with better extraction properties observed in acetic acid leachate. The res...
White biotechnology is promising to transform CO2 emissions into a valuable commodity chemical such as the biopolymer polyhydroxyalkanaotes (PHA). Our calculations indicated that the indirect conversion of acetic acid from CO2 into PHA is an interesting alternative for the direct production of PHA from CO2 in terms of CO2 fixation, H2 consumption, ...
