This paper presents a new route for biomass derived aviation fuel synthesis by catalytic conversion in aqueous phase. Furfural with the yield of 71% was produced by acid hydrolysis of raw corncob, and hydrogenated to 2-methylfuran with obtaining the yield of 89% over Raney Ni catalyst, both of...

The effect of Ni/Mg mole ratio of Ni–MgO/γ-Al2O3 cordierite monolithic catalysts on dry reforming of model biomass fuel gas(H2/CO/C2H4/CH4/CO2/N2=16.0/12.1/2.5/15.1/22.0/32.3, vol.%) was investigated in a lab-scale stainless steel tubular reactor. The results showed that CH4 and CO2...

Molten slag exhausted with critically high temperature of about 1450–1550°C is a potential resource of energy and raw materials. Water quenching is a traditional heat recovery technology, which uses cold water to cool down slag so as to achieve the desired glassy by-products. However, this...
