Improvements in Dual-Fuel Biodiesel-Producer Gas Combustion at Low Loads through Pilot Injection Splitting

TL;DR: In this paper, the pilot injection of liquid fuel was split into two split injections, the second having the function of boosting the combustion of gaseous fuel also during the late combustion phase.

Air gasification of railroad wood ties treated with creosote: Effects of additives and their combination on the removal of tar in a two-stage gasifier

TL;DR: In this paper, coal-based activated carbon and dolomite were combined with sand as the bed material in a two-stage gasifier to remove tar from railroad wood ties treated with creosote.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improvement of acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) production from switchgrass pretreated with a radio frequency-assisted heating process

TL;DR: In this paper, radio frequency (RF) heating assisted alkaline pretreatment was evaluated as an emerging technology to generate hydrolysates for acetone-butanol-ethanol (ABE) fermentation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrothermal synthesis of spherical carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) for supercapacitor electrodes uses

TL;DR: In this article, a hydrothermal method was used to provide stable colloidal suspension of spherical carbon nanoparticles (CNPs) with good uniformity of size and shape, which showed the formation of crystalline structure of carbon material.
Journal ArticleDOI

Characterization of biomass PM emissions using thermophoretic sampling: Composition and morphological description of the carbonaceous residues

TL;DR: In this article, a complete characterization of particulate matter (PM) emitted by a low-scale biomass combustor was performed using the thermophoretic sampling (TPS) method, and different particle structures present in the biomass were studied from a chemical and a morphological point of view.
