Producing fuels from waste: giving plastic waste a new life
There is a valorization process very much in demand nowadays, and that is waste-to-fuel. Waste-to-fuel is the transformation of waste into fuel, by means of pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a common technique, designed for the thermal processing of waste to generate a usable by-product. The pyrolysis equipment consists typically of an externally-heated rotary kiln operated in the absence of oxygen. ...

How You Can Use A Biomass Pyrolysis Plant For Profit
Just what is a biomass pyrolysis plant? Biomass is definitely the term for trees, straw, and lignocellulose, along with other waste materials which are not burned, like the waste through the farming industry and livestock manure. These waste matters are renewable, low in pollution, and widely distributed. Kingtiger created a biomass pyrolysis plant to promote, that can turn biomass into biogas ...

How is Ethanol Produced?
What is ethanol? Ethanol is an alternative fuel made from corn, sugarcane, wheat, and other agricultural products, and is produced by the fermentation of carbohydrates such as sugar, starch, and cellulose. Ethanol Feedstocks All plants contain sugars that can be fermented to make ethanol in a process called biochemical conversion. Plant material can also be converted to ethanol using heat and ...

A review of thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production: analysis of potential of membrane technology in I–S, UT–3 and CuCl cycles
Global warming and climate change necessitate a serious move away from fossil–based systems toward hydrogen economy. A study has been carried out on different thermochemical cycles for hydrogen production to bring about their important aspects. The study involves process description of different routes followed by thermochemical cycles. These include metal oxide processes, sulphur family ...

Thermodynamic analyses of closed thermochemical energy storages
Thermal Energy Storage (TES) is an important technology for achieving more efficient and environmentally acceptable energy systems. Where space is limited, thermochemical TES has the highest potential to achieve compact thermal energy storage. Here, a general closed thermochemical TES is investigated using energy and exergy analyses. An illustrative example is presented, and the energy and exergy ...

Combating global warming via non-fossil fuel energy options
Non-fossil fuel energy options can help reduce or eliminate the emissions of greenhouse gases and are needed to combat climate change. Three distinct ways in which non-fossil fuel options can be used in society are examined here: the capture/production of non-fossil fuel energy sources, their conversion into appropriate energy carriers and increased efficiency throughout the life cycle. ...

The preparation characteristics of hydrogen permselective membranes for higher performance in nuclear hydrogen production
The thermochemical water-splitting method has been proposed as a clean method for hydrogen production. The IS (iodine–sulphur) process is one of the thermochemical water-splitting processes. The silica membrane to apply in membrane reactor for the HI decomposition reaction improvement of the IS process was prepared by sol-gel and thermal CVD (chemical vapour deposition) methods. In the prepared ...

Long-term global vision of nuclear-produced hydrogen
Nuclear energy is the number one candidate to provide the backbone of primary energy procurement for humanity in the present century and beyond. Uranium fuel is abundant, and could become unlimited in the scheme proposed here, making nuclear energy sort of renewable. However, the only vector of nuclear energy now is electricity, which may finally consume half the primary energy input. The market ...
