Demonstrating the suitability of canola residue biomass to biofuel conversion via pyrolysis through reaction kinetics, thermodynamics and evolved gas analyses
Tahir, Mudassir Hussain; Cakman, Gulce; Goldfarb, Jillian L.; Topcu, Yildiray; Naqvi, Salman Raza; Ceylan, Selim (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2019)The identification of biomasses for pyrolytic conversion to biofuels depends on many factors, including: moisture content, elemental and volatile matter composition, thermo-kinetic parameters, and evolved gases. The present ... -
Enhancing biomass plus coal Co-firing scenarios via biomass torrefaction and carbonization: Case study of avocado pit biomass and Illinois No. 6 coal
Xue, Junjie; Chellappa, Thiago; Ceylan, Selim; Goldfarb, Jillian L. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)Co-firing of biomass with coal is a short-term solution to increase renewables in energy generation portfolios. Fuel blending uses existing infrastructure for coal combustion to reduce economic costs and net CO2 and SOx ... -
Green tide to green fuels: TG-FTIR analysis and kinetic study of Ulva prolifera pyrolysis
Ceylan, Selim; Goldfarb, Jillian L. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2015)The world grapples with identifying renewable replacements for fossil fuels. Ulva prolifera, a macroalgae species that has caused green tides in China and Europe, represents a possible source of renewable energy. Given its ... -
Improved prediction of higher heating value of biomass using an artificial neural network model based on proximate analysis
Uzun, Harun; Yildiz, Zeynep; Goldfarb, Jillian L.; Ceylan, Selim (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2017)As biomass becomes more integrated into our energy feed stocks, the ability to predict its combustion enthalpies from routine data such as carbon, ash, and moisture content enables rapid decisions about utilization. The ... -
Product quality optimization in an integrated biorefinery: Conversion of pistachio nutshell biomass to biofuels and activated biochars via pyrolysis
Isitan, Secil; Ceylan, Selim; Topcu, Yildiray; Hintz, Chloe; Tefft, Juliann; Chellappa, Thiago; Goldfarb, Jillian L. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2016)An economically viable transition to a renewable, sustainable energy future hinges on the ability to simultaneously produce multiple high value products from biomass precursors. Though there is considerable literature on ... -
Pyrolysis reaction models of waste tires: Application of Master-Plots method for energy conversion via devolatilization
Aslan, Dilan Irmak; Parthasarathy, Prakash; Goldfarb, Jillian L.; Ceylan, Selim (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2017)Land applied disposal of waste tires has far-reaching environmental, economic, and human health consequences. Pyrolysis represents a potential waste management solution, whereby the solid carbonaceous residue is heated in ... -
Second-generation sustainability: Application of the distributed activation energy model to the pyrolysis of locally sourced biomass-coal blends for use in co-firing scenarios
Goldfarb, Jillian L.; Ceylan, Selim (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2015)While first generation biofuels paved the way for a vision of a renewable energy future, their competition for arable land limited widespread applicability. Second generation fuels, made from a variety of carbonaceous ... -
Sustainable hydrocarbon fuels via "one-pot" catalytic deoxygenation of waste cooking oil using inexpensive, unsupported metal oxide catalysts
Yildiz, Agah; Goldfarb, Jillian L.; Ceylan, Selim (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2020)The present work explores the potential to upgrade waste cooking oil (WCO) via deoxygenation using inexpensive, unsupported metal oxide catalysts (CaO, TiO2, Mn(IV)O, and ZnO) in the absence of a hydrogen feedstock. WCO ... -
Synergism among biomass building blocks? Evolved gas and kinetics analysis of starch and cellulose co-pyrolysis
Xue, Junjie; Ceylan, Selim; Goldfarb, Jillian L. (Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)Debate surrounds biomass co-pyrolysis: can thermal decomposition be modeled as the sum of individual components, or do synergistic reactions promote or hinder devolatilization? Activation energies of mixtures of starch and ...
