The production of low-carbon energy products from biomass gasification is encouraged,
in order to expand our sources of energy and to mitigate the harmful impact of the pollutants on the climate and the environment. The ...
Power-to-chemicals processes hold tremendous potential to enable the widespread adoption of
renewable sources of energy and to open many avenues to the green hydrogen economy. These
processes will play a critical role ...
Glycerol is considered as the major waste from biodiesel production since every 1L of biodiesel
produced is accompanied by 0.1 L of glycerol by-product. Utilizing this waste as a biorefinery
feedstock will not only ...
For research in speech processing and analysis of audio content in general, extensive data sets are
required. Creating such a dataset manually turns out to be time and labour consuming, but it is a
task very suitable ...
A 2D pseudo-homogeneous fixed bed reactor model was developed using ANSYS Fluent,
based on an actual bench-scale Fischer-Tropsch reactor. The single-tube reactor had a
diameter of 0.05m, which is representative of the ...
Reduced graphene oxide (RGO) supported cobalt based catalysts with or without rhodium promotion,
Rh-Co/RGO (RCG) and Co/RGO (CG), were successfully synthesized and evaluated in both Fischer Tropsch synthesis (FTS) and ...
The industry’s great interest is to intensify the cobalt-based Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS)
process by increasing the per-pass conversion and the production of long chain hydrocarbons. To
achieve this goal, it is ...
Diesel fuel has been found to contain highly concentrated organo-sulphur compounds which have bad impact economically, environmentally, and health-wise. Adsorptive desulphurization (ADS) is one of the promising processes ...
The recent advances of e-commerce and e-payment systems have sparked an increase in financial fraud cases such as credit card fraud. It is therefore crucial to implement mechanisms that can detect the credit card fraud. ...
Maize (zea mays) is the staple food of Southern Africa and most of the African regions. This staple food has
been threatened by a lot of diseases in terms of its yield and existence. Within this domain, it is important ...
Highlights
Ti3C2Tx MXene-based coaxial zinc-ion hybrid fiber supercapacitors (FSCs) were fabricated with braided structure, which can be prepared continuously ...
In this study, period four transition metal oxides (Zn, Cr, Mn, Co, Fe, Cu, Ni), acting as
intermediate Lewis acids, were supported on activated carbon (AC) and used in the adsorptive
desulfurization (ADS) of model and ...

Abstract
The initial stability after implantology is paramount to the survival of the dental implant, and the surface roughness of the implant plays a vital role in this regard. The characterisation of surface ...
Critical Heat Flux (CHF) is one of the important design considerations of two-phase
flow equipment used in many industries including nuclear, chemical and power plants.
If the CHF is not accounted for properly, it may ...
Enhancement of anaerobic digestion process is an established strategy for ensuring the usability of diverse substrate-types, overcoming the recalcitrance of substrates to biological conversion and increasing biodegradability. ...
In this paper, we demonstrate the fabrication of S-shaped micron-sized constrictions on steel (Fe3CII) surface using the femtosecond
laser ablation technique. The femtosecond laser used has a wavelength of 775 nm, a power ...
In the field of computer vision, multi-class outdoor weather classification is a difficult task to
perform due to diversity and lack of distinct weather characteristic or features. This research
proposed a novel framework ...
We live in a world with ever-increasing digital technology, hence the need for enhanced security systems is vital. In the past a simple PIN or password would have been sufficient to maintain the integrity of security ...
This system monitors and controls the temperature in a marine aquarium. This system measures the water temperature in an aquarium and then uses a heater and cooling fan to control the temperature within a range of 25-27°C. ...
With the aim of studying the reactivity of ethylene and consequently understanding and
elucidating aspects of the Fischer-Tropsch (FT) reaction mechanism, a large number of
experiments were conducted using feed gas ...
