Sub- and Super-critical Water Depolymerization of Biomass
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
Biomass may be converted to more useful fuel and chemicals via thermochemical decomposition and biological digestion. Thermochemical conversion processes include three sub-categories: pyrolysis, gasification, and direct ...
Methane hydrates as potential energy resource: Part 1-Importance, resource and recovery facilities
(ELSEVIER, 2010)
Gas hydrates are ice-like crystalline solids that form from mixtures of water and light natural gases such as methane, carbon dioxide, ethane, propane and butane. Methane was the dominant component among other hydrocarbon ...
Competitive liquid biofuels from biomass
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2011)
The cost of biodiesels varies depending on the feedstock, geographic area, methanol prices, and seasonal variability in crop production. Most of the biodiesel is currently made from soybean, rapeseed, and palm oils. However, ...
The Role of Turkey Within Petroleum Between the Caspian Sea Basin and the Middle East
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
Petroleum plays a very important role in foreign policies and their international relations of Caspian and Middle East countries. The Middle East itself produces
32% of the world’s oil, but even more impressive is they ...
Use of algae as biofuel sources
(PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 2010)
The aim of this study is to investigate the algae production technologies such as open, closed and hybrid systems, production costs, and algal energy conversions. Liquid biofuels are alternative fuels promoted with potential ...
Methylation of wood fatty and resin acids for production of biodiesel
(ELSEVIER, 2011)
The purpose of the present paper is to evaluate the potentiality of the wood oil of Oriental spruce (Spruce
orientalis) for biodiesel production. Two methods have been applied for obtained wood oil with and without solvent ...
Biorefinery Technologies for Biomass Upgrading
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
Biomass can be converted into useful bio-fuels and bio-chemicals via
biomass upgrading and biorefinery technologies. Biomass upgrading processesinclude
fractionation, liquefaction, pyrolysis, hydrolysis, fermentation, ...
Direct and Alkaline Glycerol Liquefaction of Hazelnut Shell
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
Hazelnut shell was liquefied directly in water at 530–710 K and in glycerol
and alkaline (10% sodium carbonate) glycerol at 523–603 K temperature range.
Thermal degradation of biomass, cellulose, hemicelluloses, and ...
Biomass Energy-Related Environmental Policy
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
t Turkey has always been one of the major agricultural countries in the
world. The importance of agriculture is increasing as biomass energy becomes one
of the major resources in Turkey. Current disposal methods for these ...
Biodiesel for Future Transportation Energy Needs
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2010)
t Biodiesel is a natural, renewable transportation fuel. Biodiesel is the best
candidate for diesel fuels in diesel engines with no alterations. Biodiesel is a nontoxic,
biodegradable alternative to petroleum diesel that ...
