Investigation of supercritical water processing of biomass : study of high pressure separation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2016)
Global warming is caused by greenhouse gases such as CO2, CH4, NOx, and SOx. CO2 makes up about 80% (by mass) of greenhouse gas emitted by human activities. Therefore, CO2 emission plays a significant role in global warming. ...
The use of supercritical fluids to process biomass for fuel
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Soybean flakes were extracted using supercritical carbon dioxide at 48.3 MPa and 80 °C, which is a higher temperature than previously reported. Several ...
Supercritical water gasification of waste residues
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A batch reactor was built in the University of Missouri Carbon Recycling Center to explore the thermo-chemical conversion of motor oil as a model ...
The continuous supercritical water gasification of spirulina and the use of a positive displacement feeding system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2012)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] A factorial experiment was designed and conducted to explore the effect of three variables, concentration, temperature, and residence time, on two ...
Exploration of supercritical water gasification of biomass using batch reactor
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2011)
[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT REQUEST OF AUTHOR.] The focus of this study is on gasification of a biomass in supercritical water. Vapor mass yield in a batch reactor after 20 minutes in a 700[degrees]C ...
Preliminary analysis on the pulping of corn stover using aqueous ethanol and supercritical carbon dioxide
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
Currently, the two main chemical processes used to produce pulp - the Kraft and the Sulfite method - emit large amount of environmental pollutants. The organosolv pulping method, which uses organic solvents at high ...
