There is increasing demand for versatile catalysts for direct hydrocarbon utilization with the coming of hydrocarbon economy.
Studies also show that improved hydrocarbon utilization is evident in the optimal configuration due to the nature of the partially oxidized hydrocarbons that are formed at various stages of during the plasma-facilitated catalytic NOx reduction process.
We show that providing A. borkumensis with dissolved organic nitrogen as an additional nutrient in solution leads to shorter lag times prior to hydrocarbon utilization at the oil water interface.
Strain XT15 shared most physiological characteristics with common Geobacillus species, including the ability of hydrocarbon utilization.
The hydrocarbon utilization pattern of yeast strains indicated that the growth was less on short chain alkanes like octane, decane, and undecane.
The study of anaerobic microbial hydrocarbon utilization requires the strict exclusion of any traces of O2 from air which through monooxygenases could lead to hydroxyl compounds (which can be further degraded anaerobically).
Mathematical modeling of the reaction kinetics of microbial growth together with biosurfactant production and hydrocarbon substrate utilization have been attempted.
He has conducted more than 20 research projects on underground environment remediation, hydrocarbon reservoirs, CO2 utilization and sequestration, geothermal reservoir, groundwater modeling and management.
Direct utilization of hydrocarbons in low temperature solid oxide fuel cells is of growing interest in the landscape of alternative energy technologies.
Solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs) are among the most promising technologies for a clean and secure energy future due to their high energy efficiency and excellent fuel flexibility (e.g., direct utilization of hydrocarbons or renewable fuels).
