Hydrogen‐Enriched Microbial Oil Biodiesel With Hybrid Nanoparticles Impact on Diesel Engine Efficiency and Emissions

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study examines a dual‐fuel enhancement strategy that combines hydrogen enrichment with hybrid nanoparticle (HNP) doping. The aim is to improve combustion, performance, and emission characteristics of microbial oil biodiesel (MOB) in compression ignition engines.

Homologous Bio‐Tar and Bio‐Tar Pitch as Co‐Carbonization Agents in the Preparation of Mesophase Pitch

Asia-Pacific Journal of Chemical Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The present work systematically compares the performance differences between two novel homologous materials employed as co‐carbonization agents in the synthesis of mesophase pitch. Low‐cost FCC slurry was used as the raw material, with bio‐tar (BT) and bio‐tar pitch (BTP) as co‐carbonization agents.

Combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and adding red mud as a secondary catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming of digestate

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract This work studies the combined effect of increasing the post‐reformer temperature and introducing red mud as a support catalyst in the thermocatalytic reforming (TCR®) of digestate. The TCR® method, developed by the Fraunhofer Institute for Environmental, Safety and Energy Technology UMSICHT (abbreviated as Fraunhofer UMSICHT), is an extension

Effective pretreatment of wet microalgal biomass to enhance lipid extraction in biodiesel production

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, EarlyView.
Abstract Biodiesel is a viable alternative to fossil fuels. Identifying and evaluating nonedible sources is essential to address ecological concerns and meet energy demands. Microalgae are effective for lipid production but their rigid cell walls hinder bioproduct release making the process energy‐intensive and costly.
