Hydrogen is an energy vector; it is not a direct energy source. It is an energy carrier. Hydrogen can be used to feed fuel cells (an electrochemical device), thus increasing the efficency of energy transfer as the amount ...
This Thesis focuses on the study of the catalytic production of hydrogen from a biofuel, namely the bioethanol. It also studies the subsequent purification of pre-cleaned reformate streams. The end use of the hydrogen ...
Sustainability of resources such as energy, water and waste have become important drivers in our current economy. For large industries that are water and energy intensive like pulp and paper (P&P) mills, this is a specifically ...
The Barcelona metropolitan area (BMA; 3.2 M inhabitants) has an integrated urban water cycle management. Different type of treatment plants are located along the drinking, sewerage and reuse networks where specific treatments ...
Hydrogen is considered as a clean energy carrier that can be converted to electricity by fuel cell with high efficiency. To be economically feasible and comparable, hydrogen needs to be liquefied, compressed, or adsorbed ...
With the issue of the rise of anthropogenic CO2, global warming and rise of the primary energy demand, strong measures for the energy transition and the diversification with renewables and existing fossil-based infrastructure ...
Among the platform chemicals that can be produced from lignocellulosic biomass, furfural (FUR) constitutes a promising intermediate that can be processed into a variety of advanced end products. In this thesis, the ...
