An investigation into the Development of Ceramic Sorbents for High Temperature Air Separation for OxyFiring
DownloadSpring 2014
Oxyfuel combustion as one of the alternatives to post-combustion carbon capture technologies requires an economically viable oxygen supply system. Cryogenic air separation, the main currently available technology, consumes above 30% of the energy produced as it involves separation of nitrogen...

Characterization of residue from direct coal liquefaction and determination of its potential applicability as a source of fuel
DownloadSpring 2015
Direct coal liquefaction is a technology for producing liquid products from coal. One of the by-products from this process is coal liquefaction residue, which is remaining coal that was not converted to liquid products during the liquefaction process. The residue is enriched in mineral matter and...

Modelling of solvent extraction was studied using 1,2,3,4–tetrahydronaphtalene (tetralin) and Poplar coal (lignite). A kinetic model was developed taking into account temperature, mass transfer limitations and dominating events (physical or chemical) during coal liquefaction. It was found there...

Solvent extraction of coal: Influence of solvent chemical structure on extraction yield and product composition
DownloadSpring 2012
In recent years the need for new carbon sources to supplement crude oil for the production of fuels and chemicals, again focused on coal as suitable candidate. Old and new technologies are being developed to convert coal in valuable products. An old technology such as solvent extraction of coal...

The stability of the ether bond affects coal dissolution during direct coal liquefaction and aliphatic ethers are reportedly the most reactive of the oxygenate classes during liquefaction. Some ether compounds are also persistent to high temperature during coal pyrolysis. The thermolysis of ether...

Determination of Optimal Sites for Municipal Solid Waste-to-Value-Added Facilities for Canada through Geographical Information System Modelling
DownloadFall 2020
Sustainable management of municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the biggest challenges faced by economies worldwide. Rising waste generation rates, limited land resources, and environmental and public health issues raised by conventional land disposal have shifted the focus of decision-makers...
