A Step Towards Continuous Production Of Nay Zeolite In Amorphous Silica Particles Using A Dry Process, Syed Sameen Ali Zaidi
A Step Towards Continuous Production Of Nay Zeolite In Amorphous Silica Particles Using A Dry Process, Syed Sameen Ali Zaidi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
This thesis is focused on the synthesis of nano-size (50-100nm) NaY zeolite crystals inside the micro/meso pores of preshaped amorphous silica particles of size 50 micrometer using a dry process, which reduced several operational steps and the zeolite synthesis time that are generally required for current in-practice processes. Three types of reactors namely; polypropylene bottles, a stainless steel tubular reactor, and a novel vibrated baffles fluidized bed (VBFB) reactor coupled with infrared radiation emitters were used to evaluate the effects of different operating parameters on the synthesis of NaY zeolite. The synthesis process took place without using any structure directing …
Nickel-Based Catalysts For Gasification Of Glucose In Supercritical Water, Muhammad Badrul Islam Chowdhury
Nickel-Based Catalysts For Gasification Of Glucose In Supercritical Water, Muhammad Badrul Islam Chowdhury
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Gasification of waste biomass to form hydrogen, H2, is a promising new source of green energy; while providing the additional benefit of treating challenging and hazardous waste streams that pollute the environment. Gasification of biomass in supercritical water (SCW) offers an attractive alternative to avoid the energy intensive drying process. In this approach, biomass is hydrolyzed by water into smaller molecules in the presence of a suitable catalyst. This study was aimed at developing an alumina supported nickel based non-noble metal catalyst suitable for biomass gasification in SCW. A lack of detailed characterization on fresh and spent catalysts in SCW …
The Effect Of Particle Size On Hydrolysis And Modeling Of Anaerobic Digestion, Saad Aldin
The Effect Of Particle Size On Hydrolysis And Modeling Of Anaerobic Digestion, Saad Aldin
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Batch experiments were performed to investigate the effect of particulate protein particle size on the hydrolysis of casein in anaerobic degradation. While particle size did not affect the ultimate protein degradation efficiency, the hydrolysis rate coefficient increased from 0.034 to 0.298 d-1 with the change in specific surface area from 0.01 to 0.192 m2/g. The maximum methane production rate was affected by the particle size change, although the ultimate amount of methane produced was approximately the same despite the change in specific surface area. A mathematical relationship between the hydrolysis rate coefficient and specific surface area was developed and a …
Catalytic Steam Gasification Of Biomass Surrogates: A Thermodynamic And Kinetic Approach, Enrique Salaices
Catalytic Steam Gasification Of Biomass Surrogates: A Thermodynamic And Kinetic Approach, Enrique Salaices
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Gasification of biomass is an environmentally important technology that offers an alternative to the direct use of fossil fuel energy. Steam gasification is getting increased attention as a potential source of renewable energy since it produces a gaseous fuel suitable for industrial applications in highly efficiently power/heat energy production, transport fuel, and as a feedstock for chemical synthesis. Furthermore, catalytic steam gasification has other advantages hence (i) it produces a gas with higher heating value; (ii) it reduces the diluting effect of N2 from air; (iii) it eliminates the need of cleaning, upgrading and/or conditioning the product gas for certain …
