Rational design of process parameters for carbon-neutral and sulfur-free motor fuel production from second-generation biomass generated syngas

Transient HCO/HCOO− species formation during Fischer–Tropsch over an Fe–Co spinel using low Ribblet ratio syngas: a combined operando IR and kinetic study

“…High carbon utilisation in the FT process will improve energy efficiency, reduce the production cost, and enhance industrial sustainability as the enormous amount of CO 2 released during syngas generation and from the FT tail-gas is converted back to the FT fuel. 64…”

“…High carbon utilisation in the FT process will improve energy efficiency, reduce the production cost, and enhance industrial sustainability as the enormous amount of CO 2 released during syngas generation and from the FT tail-gas is converted back to the FT fuel. 64 Fischer-Tropsch is a surface polymerisation reaction involving reactant adsorption, carbon-chain initiation, chain propagation and chain termination leading to the desorption of hydrocarbon products. During the FT reaction, CO 2 of the H 2 / CO/CO 2 mixture is proposed to convert into hydrocarbons via two steps.…”

Gasification versus fast pyrolysis bio-oil production: A life cycle assessment

“…They expected that in the future large plants with oxygen pressurised in gasifiers, will maximise yields of FT products (Boerrigter et al, 2003). Also, Bahri et al researched the syngas mixture from gasifying biomass in Fischer-Tropsch reaction of carbon-neutral fuel (Bahri et al, 2021). These researchers developed a quadratic model for identifying significant variables that influenced FT and were validated with a 95% confidence interval.…”

“…These researchers developed a quadratic model for identifying significant variables that influenced FT and were validated with a 95% confidence interval. They concluded that the highest CO consumption rate corresponded to a low selectivity of CH 4 and high selectivity of C 5+ hydrocarbons (Bahri et al, 2021).…”

Transformation of Nitrogen during Microalgae Liquefaction in Subcritical/Supercritical Ethanol

“…With the depletion of fossil fuels and various environmental problems related to fossil fuel use, 1 biomass has received much attention because it is renewable and almost carbon-neutral. 2 Among various biomass feedstock, microalgae have enormous advantages such as higher photosynthetic efficiency, high cultivation yielding no demand for arable land, and high survival capacity in various environments. 3 As the third generation of biofuels, microalgae contain relatively high contents of lipid and protein.…”
