On the pyrolysis of different microalgae species in a conical spouted bed reactor: Bio-fuel yields and characterization
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-05-20)
The aim of this work was to study fast pyrolysis of three microalgae species in a continuous bench-scale conical spouted bed reactor at 500 °C. Bio-gas, bio-oil and bio-char yields have been determined and characterized ...
Experimental study and modeling of biomass char gasification kinetics in a novel thermogravimetric flow reactor
(Elsevier B.V., 2020-04-25)
[EN]This work pursues the validation of a new reactor for the evaluation of char gasification kinetics. This novel reactor allows continuous gas flow through the fixed bed sample and accurately monitoring the mass loss ...
CFD modeling and experimental validation of biomass fast pyrolysis in a conical spouted bed reactor
(Elsevier, 2020-12-31)
[EN] A 2D Euler-Euler multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model in conjunction with the kinetic theory of granular flow (KTGF) was applied to describe the biomass pyrolysis in a spouted bed reactor. The primary ...
Pyrolysis of plastic wastes in a fountain confined conical spouted bed reactor: determination of stable operating conditions
(Elsevier, 2020-12-31)
[EN] The performance of both fluidized and spouted bed reactors in the pyrolysis of waste plastics is conditioned by particle agglomeration phenomena, which worsen the quality of the gas-solid contact and eventually lead ...
A Hybrid FCC/HZSM-5 Catalyst for the Catalytic Cracking of a VGO/Bio-Oil Blend in FCC Conditions
(MDPI, 2020)
The performance of a commercial FCC catalyst (designated as CY) and a physically mixed hybrid catalyst (80 wt.% CY and 20 wt.% HZSM-5-based catalyst, designated as CH) have been compared in the catalytic cracking of a ...
