The formation of a more porous zone in the near wall region has been commonly suggested to be one of the main mechanisms of the delayed onset of fluidization in micro fluidized beds (MFBs). If such geometrical effect still plays a major role once the bed is fluidized, it will challenge the applications of Two-Fluid Model (TFM) to simulate micro flu...

Coal gasification and the production of gaseous fuels include three principal directions related to the production of fuel gas: 1) composition and heat capacity of the produced gas; 2) gas generator structures; 3) characteristic properties of the obtained alternative product - low CO content and gas toxicity, which allow making full use of this gas...

Life cycle assessment (LCA) is a tool that aids in sustainable decision-making among product and process alternatives. When implementing LCA, the efficient and accurate modeling of chemical processes for life cycle inventory (LCI) generation is still challenging. Challenges include a lack of systematic design and simulation tools and approaches to ...
The interest in diversifying the energy matrix through renewable energy sources has promoted changes at the national and international levels in academic, industrial, social and governmental sectors, focused on the development of biotechnological processes based on the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social and economic. In this con...

Bagasse and straw are residues from the industrial processing of sugarcane that constitute an important source for cogeneration of energy in the sugar-alcohol sector. The cogeneration systems in this sector generate mechanical or electrical power and steam, which are used in the process itself and the surplus is sold to energy distribution companie...

Based on the statistics data, this paper estimated the quantity of biomass resource, and then the distribution of emissions from its combu3stion and gasification was analyzed in Tibet in 2015. The main conclusions are as follows: (1) biomass energy is rich in Tibet and its geographical distribution and quantity mainly depends on the relationship be...

Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of the microalga Chlorella pyrenoidosa was examined with a catalyst mixture of Ru/C and Rh/C in a mass ratio of 1:1. The influences of temperature (380-600°C), water density (0-0.197g/cm3), and catalyst loading (0-20wt%) on the yields and composition of the gaseous products and the gasification efficiency wer...

Until recently, most of energy and industrially produced chemicals were derived from fossil fuel-based resources. This along with the continued depletion of finite fossil resources and their attributed adverse environmental impacts, alternatively sourced and more sustainable resources are being pursued as feedstock replacements. Thus, biomass has b...
