Evaluation of bio-char based products as hydrotreating catalysts for the production of renewable fuel

Venter, R.J.; Booysen, J.G.; Marx, S.; Schabort, C. (2017)

Increasing demand for alternative fuel from fossil fuel exists which has led to the development of new technologies for the production of bio-fuels. One such technology involves the hydrotreatment of vegetable oils such ...
The influence of K2CO3 and KCl on H2 formation during heat treatment of an acid-treated inertinite-rich bituminous coal-char

Leeuw, Kelebogile A.; Strydom, Christien A.; Bunt, John R.; Van Niekerk, Daniel (Springer, 2016)

Thermogravimetric-mass spectrometry (TG-MS) studies were conducted in order to investigate the effect of potassium carbonate (K2CO3) and potassium chloride (KCl) on the conversion and hydrogen evolution of chars derived ...
