The catalyst regeneration is still a challenge to make the ethanol steam reforming (ESR) process feasible for sustainable H2 production. NiAl2O4 spinel derived catalysts are highly active and selective for ESR, but they ...

[EN] The performance of olivine, dolomite and gamma-alumina primary catalysts was evaluated in the continuous tar elimination process in which toluene was selected as the biomass gasification tar model compound. Iron was ...

[EN] A study was carried out on the valorization of different waste plastics (HDPE, PP, PS and PE), their mixtures and biomass/HDPE mixtures by means of pyrolysis and in line oxidative steam reforming. A thermodynamic ...

[EN] The steam pyrolysis of pinewood sawdust has been conducted in a bench scale plant provided with a conical spouted bed reactor (CSBR). This process is of uttermost relevance for the in-line valorisation of pyrolysis ...

Bed symmetry has been analysed in fountain confined conical spouted beds operating with fine particles. Thus, vertical particle velocities and the spout shape have been determined in a wide range of spouting air velocities ...

The hydrocracking of high-density polyethylene (HDPE) blended with vacuum gas oil (VGO) has been studied to assess the effect of H2 pressure on the yield and composition of the products and with the aim of obtaining ...

The direct synthesis of dimethyl ether (DME) is considered one of the most attractive routes for valorizing CO2 and syngas on a large scale. DME has a high cetane number and its properties are similar to those of liquefied ...

Over the past few decades, there have been many advances in the world, leading to improvements in quality of life. Due to demographic and industrial growth, consumption has increased, as well as the amount of waste and ...
