In this study, acid hydrolysis of glucan derived from Gelidium amansii was evaluated using kinetic interpretation. The primary goal of this study was to gain a more accurate kinetic data of glucose formation and decomposition from a match between a first-order reaction model and the experimental...

As one of the abundant sources of biomass, palm fiber was investigated to convert into liquid and gas products through pyrolysis. Pyrolysis characteristics of palm fiber were studied by using thermogravimetric analysis in the temperature range of 30–800 °C with the various heating rates of...

The paper presents the results of pyrolysis process applied as pre-treatment sequence for grape marc within energy conversion chain. Experimental campaign for proximate, ultimate and calorimetric characterization of the product was conducted. The product equivalent chemical formula was...

The study focuses on hydrogen production from steam reforming of glycerol over nickel based catalyst promoted by zirconia and supported over ceria. Catalyst was prepared by the wet-impregnation method and characterized by BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction technique and scanning...

Biomass and its utilization have been intimately associated to renewable energy in the recent years. However, the undesirable properties of biomass such as high moisture content and its heterogeneous nature pose a barrier to its competitiveness in the energy generation market. A viable option to...
