Carbon nanofiber-based palladium/zinc catalysts for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol at atmospheric pressure
(ACS Publications, 2016-03)
Palladium/zinc catalysts supported on carbon nanofibers (CNFs) have been used to study the catalytic performance in the hydrogenation of CO2 to obtain methanol at atmospheric pressure. The carbon nanofiber support has an ...
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 ...
Influence of Cobalt Precursor on Efficient Production of Commercial Fuels over FTS Co/SiC Catalyst
(MPDI, 2016-07-07)
β-SiC-supported cobalt catalysts have been prepared from nitrate, acetate, chloride and citrate salts to study the dependence of Fischer–Tropsch synthesis (FTS) on the type of precursor. Com/SiC catalysts were synthetized ...
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 ...
Hydrogenation of CO2 to Methanol at Atmospheric Pressure over Cu/ZnO Catalysts: Influence of the Calcination, Reduction, and Metal Loading
(ACS Publications, 2017-02)
Cu/ZnO catalysts have been widely studied for the hydrogenation of carbon dioxide to methanol at atmospheric pressure. In the work described here, several interesting issues are highlighted that have rarely been considered ...
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 ...
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 ...
