A mechanistic model of fast pyrolysis of glucose-based carbohydrates to predict bio-oil composition
TL;DR: This work provides a mechanistic understanding of the various competing reactions in fast pyrolysis of cellulose and other glucose-based carbohydrates through a unified microkinetic model that incorporates the reactions of the cellulose chain and of the glucose intermediate to form a variety of bio-oil components.
Journal ArticleDOI
Development of novel chitosan-lignin composites for adsorption of dyes and metal ions from wastewater.
TL;DR: In this article, a facile preparation and characterization of a range of chitosan-alkali lignin composites for the removal of harmful effluents present in wastewater was reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of Simultaneous Photocatalytic Degradation of Phenolic Compounds and Reduction of Metal Ions with Nano-TiO2
TL;DR: A detailed dual-cycle, multistep reaction mechanism of TiO2 photocatalysis for the simultaneous degradation and reduction is proposed and the model is developed following the network reduction technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Kinetics of sonophotocatalytic degradation of anionic dyes with nano-TiO2.
TL;DR: A dual-pathway network mechanism of sonophotocatalytic degradation was proposed for the first time, and the rate equations were modeled using the network reduction technique.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave assisted co-pyrolysis of biomasses with polypropylene and polystyrene for high quality bio-oil production
TL;DR: In this paper, co-pyrolysis of five lignocellulosic biomass residues, viz. groundnut shell (G), bagasse (B), rice husk (RH), Prosopis juliflora (PJF), with two synthetic plastics, polypropylene (PP) and polystyrene (PS), was conducted to improve the quality of bio-oil.
