Dry Reforming of Methane over Li-Doped Ni/TiO2 Catalysts: Effect of Support Basicity

  • Vicente Pérez-Madrigal,
  • Edna Ríos-Valdovinos,
  • Elizabeth Rojas-García,
  • Miguel A. Valenzuela and
  • Francisco Pola-Albores

15 December 2023

In this research, we investigate the impact of Li doping on a TiO2 support, synthesized through the sol-gel method, with a focus on varying the aging time. Our objective is to elucidate how aging duration and doping influence the surface basicity, th...

Anaerobic Co-Digestion of Vinasse and Pentose Liquor and the Role of Micronutrients in Methane Production within Sugarcane Biorefineries

  • Gabriela P. Freitas,
  • Brenno Vinicius M. Lima,
  • Maria Paula C. Volpi,
  • Renata P. Rodriguez and
  • Bruna S. Moraes

8 December 2023

Anaerobic digestion (AD) of residues from integrated first- and second-generation ethanol (1G2G) biorefineries is a sustainable method for energy recovery through biogas production. This study evaluated the co-digestion of 1G vinasse, 2G vinasse and...

Density Functional Theory Insight into Chemical Vapor Infiltration

  • Eric A. Walker,
  • Joseph J. Marziale and
  • James Chen

9 November 2023

Chemical Vapor Infiltration (CVI) has proven remarkably successful in producing strong and lightweight ceramic matrix composite materials. This technology has matured to regular industrial use. However, two fundamental problems remain, and those are...

Autothermal Reforming of Methane: A Thermodynamic Study on the Use of Air and Pure Oxygen as Oxidizing Agents in Isothermal and Adiabatic Systems

  • Matheus Henrique Silva Cavalcante,
  • Ícaro Augusto Maccari Zelioli,
  • Emílio Émerson Xavier Guimarães Filho,
  • Julles Mitoura dos Santos Júnior,
  • Annamaria Dória Souza Vidotti,
  • Antonio Carlos Daltro de Freitas and
  • Reginaldo Guirardello

8 October 2023

In this paper, we analyze the autothermal reforming (ATR) of methane through Gibbs energy minimization and entropy maximization methods to analyze isothermic and adiabatic systems, respectively. The software GAMS® 23.9 and the CONOPT3 solver were...

Matrix-Assisted Processes in CH4-Doped Ar Ices Irradiated with an Electron Beam

  • Mykhailo Bludov,
  • Ivan Khyzhniy,
  • Sergey Uyutnov and
  • Elena Savchenko

7 October 2023

The relaxation processes induced by exposure of the Ar matrices doped with CH4 (0.1–10%) to an electron beam were studied with a focus on the dynamics of radiolysis products—H atoms, H2 molecules, CH radicals, and energy transfer processe...

Exploring the Potential of Methanotrophs for Plant Growth Promotion in Rice Agriculture

  • Jyoti A. Mohite,
  • Kumal Khatri,
  • Kajal Pardhi,
  • Shubha S. Manvi,
  • Rutuja Jadhav,
  • Shilpa Rathod and
  • Monali C. Rahalkar

27 September 2023

Rice fields are one of the important anthropogenic sources of methane emissions. Methanotrophs dwelling near the rice roots and at the oxic–anoxic interface of paddy fields can oxidize a large fraction of the generated methane and are therefore...
