Temperature-dependent effects of carbonization and washing on fuel quality of refuse-derived fuel

Discover Chemical Engineering
In Portugal, the production of refuse-derived fuel (RDF) from mixed municipal solid waste (MSW) is limited by low density, high chlorine content, and insufficient heating value, reducing its suitability as an alternative fuel.

Support‐Controlled Reaction Pathways via Dynamic Sulfur‐Mediated Interfaces for Selective Urea Electrolysis

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Sulfur‐doped graphitized carbon nanofibers act as adaptive catalyst–support platforms, enabling dynamic sulfur‐mediated reconstruction and strong metal–support interactions. This unique behavior enhances catalyst stability and controls reaction pathways, achieving highly selective urea oxidation (∼92% N2) coupled with efficient hydrogen evolution ...

Valorization of spent barley grains: isolation of protein and fibers for starch-free noodles and its effect on glycemic response in healthy individuals

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, 2023
Spent barley grains (SBG) were valorized into a spent barley protein and fibers (SBPF) ingredient. The ingredient was utilized to formulate SBPF-derived starchless noodles with a negligible glycemic response (GR) in healthy individuals, a significant ...
