  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. Microfabricated Gas Sensors Based on Hydrothermally Grown 1-D ZnO Nanostructures

    Author : Mingzhi Jiao; Hugo Nguyen; Klas Hjort; Anita Lloyd Spetz; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; gas sensor; zinc oxide; on-chip; hydrothermal growth; nanorods; nanowires; annealing; palladium oxide; photoluminescence; alloy; sensitivity; selectivity; stability;

    Abstract : In this thesis, gas sensors based on on-chip hydrothermally grown 1-D zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures are presented, to improve the sensitivity, selectivity, and stability of the gas sensors.Metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) gas sensors are well-established tools for the monitoring of air quality indoors and outdoors.

  5. 3. Electrochemical water splitting based on metal oxide composite nanostructures

    Author : Aneela Tahira; Omer Nur; Magnus Willander; Rasit Turan; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Composite metal oxides; hydrothermal method; water splitting; Tafel slope; stability; durability; alkaline media; acidic media;

    Abstract : The occurrence of available energy reservoirs is decreasing steeply, therefore we are looking for an alternative and sustainable renewable energy resources. Among them, hydrogen is considered as green fuel with a high density of energy. READ MORE

  6. 4. Hydrothermally induced changes of lean NOx reduction over Cu-ZSM-5 and stability improvements by synthesis modification

    Author : Malin Berggrund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; hydrothermal stability; Cu-ZSM-5; propene; lean NOx reduction; HC-SCR; in-situ DRIFT;

    Abstract : The growing concern about the global warming coupled with the increasing emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, combined with the climbing oil price, drives the interest to more fuel efficient lean combustion engines for automotive applications. Such engines require new technical solutions for reduction of NOx in the oxygen rich exhaust gases, where a conventional three-way catalyst cannot be used. READ MORE

  7. 5. Studies of the influence of ZSM-5 synthesis on activity and stability of Cu-ZSM-5 in leand NOx reduction

    Author : Malin Berggrund; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; HC-SCR; Cu-ZSM-5; catalysis; propene; lean NOx reduction; hydrothermal stability;

    Abstract : The growing concern about the global warming coupled with the increasing emissions of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide, combined with the climbing oil price, drives the interest to more fuel efficient lean combustion engines for automotive applications. Such engines require new technical solutions for reduction of NOx in the exhaust gases, which are in excess oxygen, where a conventional three-way catalyst cannot be used to reduce NOx. READ MORE
