2018-10-30Supercritical water gasification (SCWG) of waste cooking oil Recently, Prof. JA Kozinski group at Waterloo collaborated with Profs. AK Dalai at U Saskatchewan and Zhen FANG studied SCWG of waste cooking oil.In the work, Dr. S Nanda (U Western Ontario) et al. studied waste cooking oil gasification at variable temperatures (375-675°C), feed concentration (25-40 wt%) and reaction time (1...Esterification of oleic acid to biodiesel catalyzed by a highly acidic carbon...
2018-09-17Esterification of oleic acid to biodiesel catalyzed by a highly acidic carbonaceous catalystCarbonaceous acid catalyst with high acid content was synthesized by metal (Zr) ion chelation and sulfonation of sodium carboxymethylcellulose. It catalyzed the esterification of oleic acid, with biodiesel yield > 99% at 40-90oC (activation energy of 24.7 KJ/mol). (在低温下通过两步法合成的碳基固体酸Zr-SO...Catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfural to some value-added derivativ...
2018-07-14Catalytic conversion of 5-hydroxymethylfurfuralto some value-added derivativesRecently, Dr. X. Kong and Prof Zhen Fang, collaborated with Profs. IS Butler (McGill, Montreal) and JA Kozinski (New Model Institute – Hereford University, UK), published a critical review paper in Green Chemistry about 5-hydroxymethylfurfural (HMF) for biofuels and chemicals. HMF is a platform chemical derived from ...One-step production of biodiesel from oil with high acid value by magnetic ac...
