Journal ArticleDOI
Microbial lipids from renewable resources: production and characterization
TL;DR: The current state of the art of this field is reviewed, including the various microorganism used, feed stocks available, environmental factors that influence growth of cells and accumulation of lipids, major fatty acid composition oflipids, and the technology.
Journal ArticleDOI
Extraction of Lipids from Municipal Wastewater Plant Microorganisms for Production of Biodiesel
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used n-hexane, methanol, acetone, and supercritical CO2 solvents to extract lipids from sewage sludge.
Journal ArticleDOI
Adsorption kinetic modeling using pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order rate laws: A review
TL;DR: In this paper, a new validation method was proposed and was then employed to re-examine previously published adsorption kinetic data to eliminate modeling biasness and eliminate model validation tools that cannot provide any kind of certainty on the validity of a model.
Journal ArticleDOI
Equilibrium, kinetic and thermodynamic studies for adsorption of BTEX onto Ordered Mesoporous Carbon (OMC).
Mas Iwan Konggidinata,Bing Chao,Qiyu Lian,Ramalingam Subramaniam,Mark E. Zappi,Mark E. Zappi,Daniel Dianchen Gang,Daniel Dianchen Gang +7 more
TL;DR: Results suggested that the Langmuir Isotherm and Pseudo-Second-Order Models described the experimental data well and indicated that the adsorption processes were physical, endothermic, and spontaneous.
Journal ArticleDOI
Torrefaction of biomass: a review of production methods for biocoal from cultured and waste lignocellulosic feedstocks.

TL;DR: Torrefaction is a developing thermal process that has mainly been used to convert lignocellulosic feedstocks, both cultured and wasted, into a “charred” product that can be used as a fuel for power plants, combustion units, and gasifiers as mentioned in this paper.
