Multi-criteria analysis for selecting the optimum blend in the co-gasification process
(Elsevier, 2020-10)
Co-gasification is an efficient process for obtaining valuable by-products from blending different raw materials. However, selecting the optimum blend is complicated to establish as it depends on the criterion selected. ...
Immobilized laccase on polyimide aerogels for removal of carbamazepine
(Elsevier, 2019-08)
Since it is known that conventional wastewater treatment plants cannot completely remove pharmaceutical compounds, such as carbamazepine, the need for their removal has intensified. The use of biocatalysts, such as enzyme ...
PVA/nanoclay/graphene oxide aerogels with enhanced sound absorption properties
(Elsevier, 2019-12)
Aerogels based on a ternary system of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), nanoclay and thermally reduced graphene oxide (trGO) have been synthesised at pilot plant scale using an environmentally friendly freeze-drying method. In the ...
Experimental investigation of a thermal storage system using phase change materials
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
A home-made heat exchanger (HE), used in the evaluation of the performance of different phase change materials (PCMs), was designed, mounted and operated. The HE unit was used as a heat thermal storage system for recovering ...
Life cycle assessment of olive pomace valorisation through pyrolysis
(Elsevier, 2018-07)
A life cycle assessment (LCA) of the olive pomace valorisation by means of a pyrolysis system has been performed. The environmental impacts associated with three different stages were evaluated. The first stage is the olive ...
Linear and crosslinked polyimide aerogels: synthesis and characterization
(Elsevier, 2019-06)
Linear and crosslinked polyimide aerogels have been synthesized by means of a simple and eco-friendly process. Water-soluble poly(amic acid), PAA, solution was produced and thermal imidization was employed. Furthermore, ...
Valorization of Mexican biomasses through pyrolysis, combustion and gasification processes
(Elsevier, 2017-05)
Pyrolysis, combustion and gasification processes of six different types of biomass, which were obtained from Mexico (Castor husk, Castor stem, Agave bagasse, Coffee pulp, Opuntia stem and Pinus sawdust) were investigated ...
Solvent-Based Exfoliation via Sonication of Graphitic Materials for Graphene Manufacture
(ACS Publications, 2016-06)
Graphene, a new 2D material, is gaining a lot of attention because of its remarkable mechanical, electrical, chemical, thermal, and optical properties. Graphene synthesis procedures can follow two different strategies named ...
Kinetic analysis of manure pyrolysis and combustion processes
(Elsevier, 2016-08)
Due to the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the environmental issues derived from their use, biomass seems to be an excellent source of renewable energy. In this work, the kinetics of the pyrolysis and combustion of ...
Fast pyrolysis of agroindustrial wastes blends: Hydrocarbon production enhancement
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
Fast pyrolysis of waste from agroindustry may be an alternative choice for sustainable use of enhanced biofuels. Plastics are one option for improving the hydrogen to carbon efficiency ratio (H/Ceff) of biomass feedstock. ...
