The effect of the balance of biochar vs. syngas as primary end product of biofuel production on GHG emissions from the chosen feedstocks was evaluated by calculating the percent difference between GHG emissions associated with the production of biochar and that of biofuels produced without biochar coproduction.
Two different MFC configurations designed for handling solid wastes as a feedstock were evaluated in batch mode: a single compartment combined membrane-electrodes (SCME) design; and a twin-compartment brush-type anode electrodes (TBE) design (reversed T-shape MFC with two-air cathode) without a proton exchange membrane (PEM).
The homogeneity of the feedstock was evaluated by torque rheometer, microstructure observations, binder burnout analysis, and an extrusion test.
The hydrodesulphurization (HDS) performance of the series catalysts were evaluated with diesel feedstock in a micro-reactor unit, and the HDS results showed that NiW/TiO2-Al2O3 catalysts exhibited higher activities of ultra deep hydrodesulphurization of diesel oil than that of NiW/Al2O3 catalyst.
The catalytic performances of Al2O3-supported CoMo sulphide catalysts were evaluated on two different feedstocks, whose properties are listed in Table 1.
Four different feedstock-pine wood, horse manure, red oak, and cardboard were evaluated.
Microstructure and mechanical properties of the nano-Cr2O3 containing spray-dried coatings were evaluated and compared with the blended feedstock (PS304).
The γ-alumina-supported CoMo sulfide catalysts were evaluated using two different feeds (a model feedstock containing various S and N compounds (hereafter feed 1) and a real feedstock (hereafter feed 2).
Among others, activated carbon, zeolites, amorphous silica-aluminas, and metal organic framework (MOF) sorbents were evaluated for desulfurization of model oils, fluid catalytic cracking feedstock, coker naphtha, and distillates (Salem 1994, 1997; Irvine et al. 1999; Brieva et al. 2010).
Different case studies were evaluated, whereas spruce wood and wheat straw were used as feedstock for pyrolysis.
