  2. 1. Alkali Release and Effects on Biomass Thermal Conversion Processes

    Author : Yaxin Ge; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Co-conversion; Alkali; Biomass; bed material; thermal conversion; online measurements;

    Abstract : High alkali content is an important feature of biomass, and it has a series of implications for thermal conversion processes. This thesis focuses on the release of alkali during various biomass thermal conversion processes, including biomass pyrolysis, char gasification, co-conversion of different types of biomass, and thermal conversion of biomass mixed with fresh and used bed materials.

  4. 2. Proton pathways in energy conversion : K-pathway analogs in O2- and NO-reductases

    Author : Nathalie Gonska; Pia Ädelroth; Alessandro Giuffré; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; heme-copper oxidase; cytochrome c oxidase; membrane protein; respiration; electron transfer; proton transfer; redox reaction; metalloprotein; non-heme iron; cytochrome ba3; flow-flash; carbon monoxide; liposome; respiratory control ratio; Biochemistry; biokemi;

    Abstract : Oxygen and nitric oxide reductases are enzymes found in aerobic and anaerobic respiration, respectively. Both enzyme groups belong to the superfamily of Heme-Copper Oxidases, which is further divided into several subgroups: oxygen-reducing enzymes into A-, B- and C-type and nitric oxide reductases into qNORs and cNORs.

  5. 3. Catalytic conversion of LignoBoost Kraft lignin into liquid products in near-critical water

    Author : Huyen Nguyen Lyckeskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; LignoBoost; Catalytic conversion; Hydrothermal conversion; Bio-oil; Near-critical water; Lignin;

    Abstract : Lignin, one of the three main components of lignocellulosic biomass, is the second most abundant organic polymer found on Earth. Due to its aromatic nature, lignin is recognized as being a potential feedstock for producing transportation fuel and high value-added chemicals. READ MORE

  6. 4. Micro-reaction Mechanism Study of the Biomass Thermal Conversion Process using Density Functional Theory

    Author : Xiaolei Zhang; Weihong Yang; Linda J. Broadbelt; KTH; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; biomass thermal conversion; cellulose pyrolysis; char steam gasification; adsorption; interaction; mechanism; quantum chemistry; density functional theory;

    Abstract : Biomass, or bio-energy, is one of the most important alternative energies because of environmental concerns and the future shortage of fossil fuels. Multi-scaled bioenergy studies have been performed in the division of Energy and Furnace Technology, which included studies of macroscopic systems such as systems and reactors, modeling of computational fluid dynamics (CFD), and atomic/molecular level studies.

  7. 5. Fundamental Insights into the Electrochemistry of Tin Oxide in Lithium-Ion Batteries

    Author : Solveig Böhme; Leif Nyholm; Kristina Edström; Laure Monconduit; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Tin; Tin oxide; Lithium-ion batteries; Electrochemistry; High temperature cycling; Conversion reaction; XPS; SEM; Kemi med inriktning mot materialkemi; Chemistry with specialization in Materials Chemistry;

    Abstract : This thesis aims to provide insight into the fundamental electrochemical processes taking place when cycling SnO2 in lithium-ion batteries (LIBs). Special attention was paid to the partial reversibility of the tin oxide conversion reaction and how to enhance its reversibility. READ MORE
