2. 1. Fuel Cells and Biogas

   Author : Lars Hedström; Per Alvfors; Peter Lund; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; air bleed; biogas; carbon dioxide; carbon monoxide; current distribution; dilution; efficiency; energy conversion; energy systems; experimental; fuel cell; fuel cell systems; PEFC; poisoning; reformate; SOFC; Chemical energy engineering; Kemisk energiteknik;

   Abstract : This thesis concerns biogas-operated fuel cells. Fuel cell technology may contribute to more efficient energy use, reduce emissions and also perhaps revolutionize current energy systems. The technology is, however, still immature and has not yet been implemented as dominant in any application or niche market. READ MORE

4. 2. Lipase-Catalysed Lipid Modifications in Supercritical Carbon Dioxide

   Author : Helga Gunnlaugsdottir; Livsmedelsteknik; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; immobilisation support; enzymes; pressure; phase behaviour; flow rate; process parameters; supercritical carbon dioxide; Lipase; lipids; Food and drink technology; Livsmedelsteknik;

   Abstract : The production of ethyl esters (EE) from ethanol and cod-liver oil by an immobilised lipase in supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2) is described. This reaction results in a complex mixture of lipid components consisting of triglycerides, diglycerides, monoglycerides and ethyl esters. READ MORE

5. 3. Porous Cerium Dioxide for Catalytic Applications

   Author : Mats Lundberg; Centrum för analys och syntes; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; materialteknik; Chemical technology and engineering; Kemiteknik och kemisk teknologi; Materiallära; Material technology; catalysis; transmission electron microscopy; macroporous; mesoporous; cerium dioxide; zirconium dioxide;

   Abstract : Mesoporous cerium dioxide with high crystallinity has been synthesized and studied by TEM, SEM, nitrogen adsorption, PXRD, AFM, and SAXS. The catalytic properties of the materials have been investigated The results of the catalysis experiments were correlated with high resolution TEM investigations of the corresponding material, and it was found that the exposed crystallographic facets play an important role in the conversion of carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.

6. 4. Atomic Scale Modelling in Photoelectrocatalysis : Towards the Development of Efficient Materials for Solar Fuel Production

   Author : Giane B. Damas; Carlos Moyses Araujo; Rajeev Ahuja; Clas Persson; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Photocatalytic hydrogen production; polymeric materials; donor-acceptor architecture; small molecules; density functional theory; hydrogen binding free energies; exciton binding energies; electrocatalysis; carbon dioxide conversion; formic acid production; Sn-based electrodes; Tin oxides; Ru-complexes; Metal Organic Frameworks; carbon dioxide capture.;

   Abstract : Using sunlight to produce valuable chemicals has been pointed out as an interesting alternative to deal with the well-known environmental problem related to the use of fossil fuels for energy generation. Thus, it is crucial for this field the development of novel photocatalysts that could drive the uphill reactions with high efficiency while presenting low price and toxicity. READ MORE

7. 5. Design and Operation of a 10 kWth Chemical-Looping Combustor for Solid Fuels

   Author : Nicolas Berguerand; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Solid Fuel Conversion; Chemical-Looping Combustion; Oxygen Carrier; Ilmenite; Carbon Dioxide Capture; Oxygen Transfer; Gas Conversion; Oxygen Demand;

   Abstract : Chemical-looping combustion (CLC) is a new fuel conversion technology with inherent CO2 capture. In this process, the fuel and the combustion air are never mixed and the oxygen is transferred to the fuel via an oxygen carrier in the form of a metal oxide circulating between two reactors, e.g. READ MORE
