Bio-oil is a promising carbon neutral and sustainable alternative for liquid fossil fuels, but the difficulties in property characterization is hindering its further development. Accordingly, this study proposed a fast characterization method of bio-oil via combination of attenuated total...

In present study, we investigated jet fuel production process, including the crude oil-based conventional process, unconventional oil sources-based process, Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (F–T) process and renewable jet fuel process and analyzed the details of each jet fuel production process....

Using composite style measures of the letter to shareholders, we elaborate dominant rhetorical profiles and qualify them from an impression management perspective. In addition, we examine how institutional differences affect rhetorical profiles by comparing intensity and contingencies of...

A small-scale pilot project was built for the pavement-solar energy utilization in this paper. An automatic data acquisition system was designed to measure the effectiveness of the pavement solar energy system based on the operation data of 24h a day in both summer and winter. Through 69days...

Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of barley straw with K2CO3 at different temperatures (280–400°C) was conducted and compared to optimize its process conditions; the aqueous phase as a co-product from this process was recycled to explore the feasibility of implementing wastewater reuse for...

Micro-algae have been recognized as a promising feedstock for biofuel production. Effective combining microalgae cultivation with wastewater treatment can reduce CO2 emissions and the cost of microalgae biofuel production, making it more feasible. However, the biomass and lipid productivity must...

Barley straw was successfully converted to bio-crude by hydrothermal liquefaction at temperature of 280–400 °C using an alkali catalyst (K2CO3) in our previous work, and the maximum bio-crude yield was obtained at 300 °C. This paper extends previous work on studying liquefaction behavior...
