Potential Routes for Thermochemical Biorefineries
(Wiley, 2013)
This critical review focuses on potential routes for the multi-production of chemicals and fuels in the framework of thermochemical biorefineries. The up-to-date research and development in this field has been limited to ...
Article

Technoeconomic assessment of potential processes for bio-Ethylene production
(Elsevier, 2013)
The use of biomass in the production of plastics can contribute to the depletion of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and secondarily to partially fulfill the growing demand for plastics expected in the near future. The aim ...

Kinetic characterization of solvents for CO2 capture under partial oxy-combustion conditions
(Elsevier, 2017)
Partial oxy-combustion is proposed as a new carbon capture concept based on the use of oxygen-enriched air as an oxidizer instead of air during the combustion stage followed by a CO2 chemical absorption. This novel approach ...

Evaluation of MEA 5M performance at different CO2 concentrations of flue gas tested at a CO2 capture lab-scale plant
(Elsevier, 2017)
Chemical absorption is the most effective and mature post-combustion alternative that might be applied for carbon capture in fossilfuel power plants and other energy-intensive industries such as cement production, refineries ...

Thermochemical biorefinery based on dimethyl ether as intermediate: Technoeconomic assessment
(Elsevier, 2012)
Thermochemical biorefinery based on dimethyl ether (DME) as an intermediate is studied. DME is converted into methyl acetate, which can either be hydrogenated to ethanol or sold as a co-product. Considering this option ...

Thermochemical Biorefineries with multiproduction using a platform chemical
(Elsevier, 2016)
This critical review focuses on potential routes for the multi-production of chemicals and fuels in the framework of thermochemical biorefineries. The up-to-date research and development in this field has been limited to ...

Technoeconomic assessment of lignocellulosic ethanol production via DME hydrocarbonylation
(Elsevier, 2012)
In this study, a new thermochemical route to produce lignocellulosic ethanol based on DME (dimethyl ether) hydrocarbonylation is proposed and economically assessed. The process is designed and evaluated using current kinetic ...
Article

Oxidative degradation of a novel AMP/AEP blend designed for CO2 capture based on partial oxy-combustion technology
(Elsevier, 2018-10)
Solvent degradation and volatile compound emissions are two of the major concerns about the deployment of carbon capture technologies based on chemical absorption. In this context, partial oxy-combustion might reduce the ...

Producción de emulsiones submicrónicas formuladas con dos biodisolventes y tres tensioactivos ecológicos diferentes
(Instituto Químico de Sarriá: Asociación de Químicos e Ingenieros, 2017)
The target of this investigation was to compare the yield of three different eco-friendly surfactants derived from cocoa oil for the development of oil-in-water emulsions formulated with a mixture of green solvents as ...

Bacterial behavior on coated porous titanium substrates for biomedical applications
(Elsevier, 2019)
In this work, bacterial behavior on dense and porous titanium substrates is discussed. Porous titanium was fabricated by a space holder technique (using 50 vol%, NH4HCO3 with particle sizes between 250 and 355 μm). These ...
