A Study Of Biochar Production Via Continuous Vacuum-Assisted Pyrolysis, Max Wohlgenant
A Study Of Biochar Production Via Continuous Vacuum-Assisted Pyrolysis, Max Wohlgenant
Graduate Theses & Non-Theses
The present study focuses upon the design, fabrication, and feasibility of the bulk production of scientific biochar for mobile delivery. In the 2022 annual report, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine recommended the integration of mobile, decentralized reactors that employ flexible manufacturing and circular economic principles. Biochar production, involving the thermal degradation of biomass under an inert atmosphere to yield remediation media is an ideal material to satisfy this recommendation. Many potential application sites, such as abandoned mines, are remote and limit the construction of large infrastructure. The continuous vacuum-assisted pyrolysis (CVAP) reactor was designed to: increase biochar …
The Use Of Novel Cement Additives To Increase The Carbon Storage Potential Of Oilfield Cements, Rob Braden
The Use Of Novel Cement Additives To Increase The Carbon Storage Potential Of Oilfield Cements, Rob Braden
Graduate Theses & Non-Theses
The topic of carbon sequestration has become increasingly popular in recent years as a solution to combat the increasing amounts of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere. Various industries have researched methods in which to implement carbon sequestration projects to offset the carbon dioxide emissions associated with their operations. The U.S. oil and gas exploration industry in particular has seen multi-billion-dollar investments by multiple firms into carbon sequestration and emission reduction projects. The largest single industrial emitter of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere currently is the production of cement, which accounts for 8% of all global industrial carbon dioxide emission (Ellis …
