2. 1. Hydrothermal Liquefaction of Lignin into Bio-Oil

   Author : Huyen Nguyen Lyckeskog; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; hydrothermal conversion; aging; bio-oil; stability; subcritical water; lignin;

   Abstract : Lignin, one of the three main components of lignocellulosic biomass, is the second most abundant organic polymer found on Earth. Nowadays, most of the lignin (almost 99%) produced in the Kraft pulping process is used as internal fuel. READ MORE

4. 2. Fast pyrolysis of biomass : primary products and reaction pathways

   Author : David Usino; Tobias Richards; Weihong Yang; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fast pyrolysis; Py-GC-MS FID; Primary reactions; Cellulose; Xylan; Lignin; Birch wood; Co-pyrolysis; Mahogany; Iroko; Palm kernel shell; Biomass blend; Biomass interaction; Pretreatment; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Pyrolysis of biomass to produce liquid fuel and chemicals has been considered as an alternativeto fossil fuel because biomass has a lower environmental impact; moreover, it is renewable andcould be sustainable. However, the process of bio-oil production involves a series of complexchemical reactions which are dependent on the biomass feedstock and composition,temperature, heating rate as well as residence time.

5. 3. Fractionation of woody biomass : lignin and suberin in focus

   Author : Ivan Kumaniaev; Joseph Samec; Claudia Crestini; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; lignocellulose; lignin; suberin; biomass; palladium; catalysis; flow chemistry; organisk kemi; Organic Chemistry;

   Abstract : This thesis is dedicated to the research of fractionation and valorization of different types of woody biomass. In the first part, oak (Quercus suber) and birch (Betula pendula) barks are considered. Bark is the outer layer of wood and is treated as waste in the current wood processing technologies. READ MORE

6. 4. Catalytic Steam Pyrolysis of Biomass for Production of Liquid Feedstock

   Author : Efthymios Kantarelis; Weihong Yang; Tobias Richards; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Pyrolysis; Catalytic Cracking; Catalytic Upgrading; Biomass to Liquids; Bio-fuels; Πυρόλυση; Καταλυτική διάσπαση; Καταλυτική αναβάθμιση; Biomass to Liquids; Βιοκαύσιμα; Pyrolys; Katalytisk Krackning; Katalytisk uppgradering; Biomass to Liquids; biobränslen; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik; Energy Technology; Energiteknik; Teknisk materialvetenskap; Materials Science and Engineering;

   Abstract : The current societal needs for fuels and chemical commodities strongly depend on fossil resources. This dependence can lead to economic instabilities, political problems and insecurity of supplies. READ MORE

7. 5. Transport of Particles in Turbulent Flow with Application to Bio-Fuels

   Author : Ammar Saber; Magnus Marklund; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Bio fuels; Turbulent flow; PIV measurement; Strömningslära; Fluid Mechanics;

   Abstract : Development of civilization faces a challenge of developing the resources of energy demand for the modern life. Extensive use of conventional fuel resources like crude oil and coal rise up a serious problem of increasing CO2 emission. New records levels of CO2 were registered during the early beginning of industrial revolution (http://climate.nasa. READ MORE
