A new concept for syngas production is proposed in which a liquid metal oxide (here copper
oxide) is implemented as an oxygen carrier for chemical looping gasification. The proposed …

Because of the growing world energy demand, biofuels obtained from the hydrotreatment of
vegetable oils represent a renewable alternative to replace fossil fuels. The development of …

This chapter presents a study of the kinetic and reactor modeling of hydrotreating vegetable
oils for the production of renewable fuels. It presents a case study of dynamic reactor …

This research focuses on producing biodiesel through the transesterification process of
Ceiba pentandra triglyceride acid using a CaO/Hydrotalcite (CaO/HTC) catalyst. This study …

A four-lump computational fluid dynamic (CFD) model was proposed for the investigation of
vacuum gas oil hydrocracking in a trickle-bed reactor. The experiment was conducted at 360 …

The so-called “lumping approach” is widely used to study complex processes such as
hydrocracking of vacuum residue. In order to describe the composition changes in such …

The complexity of designing and optimizing vegetable oil hydrotreating reactors lies in
describing multiple phenomena, including heat and mass transfer, hydrogen consumption …

A novel modelling approach that captures the complex chemistry of the hydrocracking
process and its detailed solution is reported in this paper. The fundamentals of the …

Scaling up and validation of a trickle-bed reactor model were performed with the
experimental information obtained during the hydrotreatment of vegetable oil in a pilot-scale …

Modeling and simulation of a three-phase commercial-scale reactor for the catalytic
hydrotreating of vegetable oil is reported to analyze the effect of reactor characteristics and …
