methanol and ethanol instead of hydrogen as a fuel in fuel cells, not only reduces issues with fuel transportation and storage …billionlitres per annum of ethanol is produced globally. It can be produced from a range of feedstock which includes sugar … waste or forestry residue. These factors make ethanol, especially when used with a low emission technology such as fuel …

supercritical equipment. Experimental investigations were carried out at reaction temperatures of 270–400°C, pressure of 20MPa, oil-to-ethanol … 30min at 350°C and oil-to-ethanol molar ratio of 1:40 under a reactor pressure of 20MPa. The spiral reactor was not only … recovery. A second-order kinetic model describing the transesterification of canola oil in supercritical ethanol was proposed …

The present study aims to numerically investigate the impacts of ethanol blend ratio together with advanced fuel … KIVA–CHEMKIN code for neat biodiesel and its blend fuels with 5%, 10% and 20% (vol.%) of ethanol at a fix engine speed of … kinetics of biodiesel and ethanol fuels, and it was validated by performing the 0-D ignition delay predictions, as well as 3-D …

This study explores optimal operating conditions for power generation from wet ethanol in a HCCI engine using exhaust … gas heat recovery. Wet ethanol is a difficult fuel to ignite as it requires high compressed gas temperatures to achieve … builds on prior experimental research by focusing on optimal operating conditions for wet ethanol in HCCI with exhaust gas …

Since ethanol is considered an essential additive for biofuel production, there may be the opportunity to employ it as … such in Mexico. However, an analysis of the ethanol supply chain should be performed first. Therefore, in order to analyze … the main variables of the ethanol supply chain, as well as the feasibility for its use, the present research developed a …

In this paper, we optimize a process that integrates the use of glycerol to produce ethanol via fermentation within the … fermentation of glycerol to ethanol increases the production of bioethanol by at least 50%. The energy and water consumptions are …

, and leaves, were employed for ethanol and biogas production. Effects of operating conditions, including methanol to oil …. In addition, pretreatment using 8% w/v NaOH at 0 and 100°C for 30 and 60min was applied to improve ethanol and biogas … yields. The best results for both enzymatic hydrolysis and ethanol production by simultaneous saccharification and …

syngas fermentation performance – measured by such parameters as syngas utilization efficiency, ethanol concentration and … productivity, and ratio of ethanol to acetic acid – depended not only on the mass transfer efficiency but also on the biofouling or … greater metabolite (ethanol/acetic acid) productivity than what was obtained using a traditional bubble column reactor.
