Research interest in the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass into energy and fuels through the pyrolysis process has increased significantly in the last decade as the necessity for a renewable source of carbon has become more evident. For optimal design of pyrolysis reactors, an understanding...

Superhydrophobic materials with surface drying, self-cleaning, and antibiological pollution characters are broadly used in biotechnology, medicine, and shipbuilding sectors. In this paper, micro-nano silica is modified using a silane-based coupling agent. An organosilicon compound is grafted to...

Biomass transformation into fuels, platform chemicals and materials contributes to developing sustainability and carbon neutralization. Pyrolysis is one of the most important approaches to valorize biomass. The distributed activation energy model (DAEM) is a comprehensive kinetic model in...

Batch ethanol fermentations using sugarcane juice with immobilised yeast were carried out in shaking flasks in order to investigate the influences of different pH values, temperatures, initial total soluble sugar concentrations and particle stuffing rates on ethanol productivity. The results...

The relationship between total soluble sugar content and Brix in stalk juice of sweet sorghum was determined through one-dimensional linear regression. Meanwhile, bioethanol fermentation experiments were conducted in shaking flasks and 10l fluidized bed bioreactor with stalk juice of Yuantian...

The techno-economic assessment of biomass pyrolysis gasification system for central gas supply was conducted using cost and profit method. From the results, it can be seen that Net Present Value (at discount rate of 10%), profit/Cost, and Internal Return Rate of financial analysis in village...

Field experiments were carried out to study the effect of different anaerobic fermentation residue of biogas production treatments on yield and quality of Chinese cabbage (Brassica rapa L. var. shanghaisis) and nutrient accumulation in soil. The results indicated that the yield and quality...
