Abstract:

At present, the main cooking fuels inChinaare natural gas, coal gas, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), coal, biogas, wood and straw. This paper reviews the characteristics, advantages, disadvantages and the current application status of these different cooking fuels. Moreover, a questionnaire survey is presented, dealing with different cooking fuels in Chinese households and the occupants’ perceived health, ventilation behaviors and general knowledge in potential health hazards. About 56% of the respondents of the questionnaire survey stated that symptoms like itching eyes, dry or irritated throa

Abstract:

Household air pollution (HAP) has been recognized as one of the lethal causes of millions of premature deaths every year, victimizing mainly children and women. Literature suggests that transition to modern cooking fuels such as electricity, biogas from the conventional ones, for instance, fuelwood, coal, can reduce HAP, thus minimize the likelihood of respiratory health problems among household members. This study explores whether cooking fuels has an impact on children's respiratory health in the context of Nigeria, and in particular, whether modern cooking fuels can be a solution to this pr

Abstract:

Concerns over dwindling fossil fuel reserves, and the impact of CO2 emissions on climate change, is driving the quest for alternative feedstocks to reduce dependence on non-renewable sources of fuels and chemicals. Biomass offers the only renewable source of organic molecules for the manufacture of bulk, fine and speciality chemicals necessary to secure the future needs of society. In this regard, conversion of biomass derived C6 sugars to 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF), the latter a potential, bio-derived platform chemical, is of significant current interest.

Abstract:

The upgrading of bio-fuels derived from the fast pyrolysis of biomass is currently a topic of great interest due to the increasing concerns over the use of fossil fuels and the drive towards renewable feedstock. The ketonisation reaction is one method for reducing the oxygen content and acidity of derived bio-fuel. The ketonisation reaction converts carboxylic acid molecules into ketone, water and carbon dioxide. In this thesis a range of metal oxide catalysts and zeolite catalysts have been investigated for bio-oil upgrading via the ketonisation reaction and catalytic fast pyrolysis. The prep

In addition, bioethanol and biodiesel sourced from first generation feedstocks use arable land in competition with food production, and can only meet a fraction of the current demand.

Abstract:

Anaerobic digestion is the process by which organic carbon is converted into biogas in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4). Both of these products are greenhouse gases that contribute to global warming. Therefore if anaerobic reactors are improperly maintained and biogas is leaked or intentionally released into the atmosphere because biogas production exceeds household demand, these reactors may become generators of greenhouse gas emissions instead of sustainable energy producers. The objective of this research was to develop a framework to assess if the demand for biogas by a r

Child mortality in sub-Saharan Africa is reducing but the levels remain high with subnational within-country variations. Birth weight is a key predictor of child survival and monitoring birth weight outcomes, in particular, prevalence of low birth weights, is important for resource allocation to improve child survival outcomes. Past research in sub-Saharan Africa has found that different individual-level factors are associated with birth weight including BMI of mother, sex of baby, educational level of mother, and wealth index of household. Some environmental factors are found to be associated

Abstract:

Household air pollution (HAP), predominantly from cooking fuel, is a major public health hazard and one of the leading causes of respiratory illness and death among young children under-five years of age. Approximately, 3 billion people still rely on solid fuels (e.g. wood, crop residue, coal, animal dung etc.) for their everyday cooking and heating. Exposure to HAP resulting from indoor smoke from solid fuels is a substantial cause of respiratory illness and death among young children in low and middle-income countries, and globally, more than 2.9 million annual deaths have been attributed to

Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with studies on the conversion of syngas to liquid hydrocarbons. A major part of the effort is aimed at synthesising the catalyst and use of it in a speci cally designed high pressure-high temperature reactor to produce liquid hydrocarbons with Fischer-Tropsch synthesis. This study was motivated by two important considerations: (a) The predominant need to produce biomass derived liquid fuels such as gasoline and diesel. (b) Identify the key catalyst properties that influence the hydrocarbon yield and accordingly synthesize catalysts that compare with the data av
