Thermal reactions of the major hydrocarbon components of biomass gasification gas
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-12-19)
Gasification of biomass is an efficient method process to produce liquid fuels, heat and electricity. It is interesting especially for the Nordic countries, where raw material for the processes is readily available. The ...
Deoxygenation of fatty acids for production of fuels and chemicals
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-09-27)
The decreasing fossil fuel resources combined with an increasing world energy demand has raised an interest in renewable energy sources. The alternatives can be solar, wind and geothermal energies, but only biomass can be ...
Ionic liquid mediated biomass deconstruction: from analysis challenges to fermentable sugars
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-09-22)
Ionic liquids, ILs, have recently been studied with accelerating interest to be used for a deconstruction/fractionation, dissolution or pretreatment processing method of lignocellulosic biomass. ILs are usually utilized ...
Methyl and ethyl chloride synthesis in microreactors
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-09-19)
Methyl chloride is an important chemical intermediate with a variety of applications. It is produced today in large units and shipped to the endusers. Most of the derived products are harmless, as silicones, butyl rubber ...
?-Pinene oxide and verbenol oxide isomerizations over heterogeneous catalysts
(Åbo Akademi - Åbo Akademi University, 2014-12-19)
Terpenes are a valuable natural resource for the production of fine chemicals. Turpentine, obtained from biomass and also as a side product of softwood industry, is rich in monoterpenes such as α-pinene and β-pinene, which ...
