Abstract:

With the considerable increase in both the consumption and demand of fossil fuels, carbon dioxide emissions in the atmosphere will increase correspondingly, causing global warming. However, carbon dioxide (C02) as a chemical has many advantages chemically; it is non-toxic, non-combustible, and can also be the starting material for the synthesis of fine chemicals. Among the possible processes which utilise carbon dioxide as a reagent, the synthesis of five-membered cyclic carbonates is very appealing, due to their vast potential for use as polar solvent, chemical intermediates and monomers in p

Abstract:

Doctor of Philosophy<br>Grain Science and Industry<br>Praveen V. Vadlani<br>Lignocellulosic biomass feedstocks are a sustainable resource required for rapid growth of bio-based industries. An integrated approach, including plant breeding, harvesting, handling, and conversion to fuels, chemicals and power, is required for the commercial viability of the lignocellulosic-based biorefineries. Optimization of conversion processes, including biomass pretreatment and hydrolysis, is a challenging task because of the distinct variations in composition and structure of biopolymers among biomass types.

Abstract:

The current energy and environmental scenario in the world demands acute attention on sustainable repurposing of waste CO2 to high value hydrocarbons that not only addresses the CO2 mitigation problem, but also provides pathways for a closed loop synthetic carbon cycle. Difference in the scales of global CO2 emissions (about 40 Gtpa, 2017) and the carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) facilities (estimated cumulative 40 Mtpa, 2018) provokes active research on this topic. Solar thermochemical (STC) and visible light photocatalysis are two of the most promising routes that have garnered attenti

Abstract:

Fossils fuels are highly demanded in everyday life domestically or industrially. Fossil fuels are finite resources and they are rapidly depleting, as such alternative renewable feedstocks are sought to replace fossil fuels. Tall oil from paper processing and cashew nut shell liquid from the cashew nut industry are the two major renewable sources we studied, they are both waste byproducts, and have the potential to be converted into value-added materials. Tall oil from the paper industry mainly contained tall oil fatty acid, and under isomerising methoxycarbonylation with palladium catalyst, di

Abstract:

The solutions for mitigating climate change are diverse, ranging from innovative technological advancements to national and international policy mechanisms, aimed at behavioural changes. Although rudimentary, the use of wood biomass in energy generation – as an important short- to mid-term transitional fuel – has continued to grow, forming a key component of global mitigation strategies. This is particularly apparent in the UK, which relies upon large volumes of imported wood pellets to supplement home-grown feedstocks. As the UK’s forest resource is relatively small – when compared to the res

Abstract:

This work tackles a feasibility analysis on the electrocatalytic hydrogenation of palmitic acid as model compound for the interested hydrothermal liquefaction's (HTL) biocrude. It represents an upgrading study in order to produce high quality bio-oil or even biofuels. The aim was to confirm the possibility to attack this very unreactive molecule electrochemically, performing the target reaction of hydrogenation in lab-scale systems. Furthermore, also a qualitative analysis on the product and on the possible reaction scheme has been done. Due to the lack of literature, further study must be don

Abstract:

Improving the availability of secure energy supplies for the poorest rural communities is central to development efforts. World-wide, climate change concerns have led to growing interest in renewable sources, including modern forms of bioenergy. Drivers behind its adoption are diverse, location and scale dependent, and result in multi-level trade-offs. Although impacts are context-specific, bioenergy production and use have a wider impact on issues including deforestation, biodiversity loss, water shortages and food price increases. At local levels reports of labour exploitation, loss of local

Abstract:

Modern biorefineries provide a framework for the sustainable conversion of biomass to biofuels and biochemicals. In light of the recalcitrance of lignin in woody feedstocks, the native shrub eastern leatherwood is proposed as a model hypolignified species. Xylem tissue of this low-lignin plant contained syringyl-rich lignin that was more easily hydrolysed and did not appear to be localised in the middle lamellae. Also, leatherwood cellulose was less crystalline and the xylan was highly acetylated. While viable low-lignin plants will enable the sustainable utilisation of woody feedstocks, high-

Abstract:

<p>The rise of the twenty-first century has seen the further increase in the industrialization of Earth’s resources, as society aims to meet the needs of a growing population while still protecting our environmental and natural resources. The advent of the industrial bioeconomy – which encompasses the production of renewable biological resources and their conversion into food, feed, and bio-based products – is seen as an important step in transition towards sustainable development and away from fossil fuels. One sector of the industrial bioeconomy which is rapidly being expanded is the use of

Abstract:

Rising world petroleum prices and global warming are contributing to interest in renewable energy sources, including energy produced from agricultural crops and waste sources of biomass. A network of small mobile pyrolysis units may be the most cost effective system to convert biomass from agricultural feedstocks to bio-crude oil. Mobile pyrolysis units could be moved to the feedstock production fields thereby greatly simplifying feedstock logistics. In the North Central (NC) region of the U.S., possible feedstocks are corn stover, energy sorghum, and switchgrass. A grid-based Geographic Infor

Abstract:

O uso excessivo e contínuo de agroquímicos, fertilizantes sintéticos e pesticidas, levou à poluição antropogénica de nutrientes, tendo causado um grande número de degradações ambientais. Além disso, os agroquímicos são poluentes ambientais que podem causar graves problemas de saúde humana. A expansão global de "zonas mortas" nos oceanos, nas quais os baixos níveis de oxigénio ameaçam a vida marinha, é apenas um dos muitos sinais de alerta de que medidas contrárias são necessárias com urgência. Os bioestimulantes e biopesticidas à base de microalgas representam uma alternativa promissora para a
