Efficacy of modified carbon molecular sieve with iron oxides or choline chloride-based deep eutectic solvent for the separation of CO/CH.

It is necessary to separate CO from biogas to improve its quality for the production of biomethane. Herein, an improvement in the separation of CO/CH adsorption was achieved by modifying the surface of CMS. The surface modification of CMS was performed by impregnation with metal oxide (FeO) and N-doping (DES-[ChCl:Gly]).

Oxygen-enriched surface modification for improving the dispersion of iron oxide on a porous carbon surface and its application as carbon molecular sieves (CMS) for CO/CH separation.

The separation of CO/CH can be enhanced by impregnating porous carbon with iron oxide. Dispersion of iron oxide is one of the critical factors which supports the separation process performance. Iron oxide dispersion can be enhanced by enriching the oxygen functional groups on the carbon surface.

Microwave-Assisted Urea-Based-Hydrotropic Pretreatment of Rice Straw: Experimental Data and Mechanistic Kinetic Models.

The three major lignocellulose components can be transformed into various biomass-derived platform fuels, chemicals, and materials upon pretreatment and chemical upgrading. Lignocellulose pretreatment is an important step to obtain an eco-friendly, economical, and effective biomass utilization process. The combination of microwave heating and hydrotropic pretreatment is considered as a green method of lignocellulose pretreatment.
