Fuel cell BrAC devices measure the oxidation of ethanol into acetaldehyde on an electrode cell. The output of the current is measured across the cells, which is proportional to the level of oxidation and in turn, the amount of ethanol in the breath sample [44]. Fuel-cell alcohol devices ...
Furthermore, high-purity lignins should be sulphur-free and present a low carbohydrate and ash content. Pre-treatments with organic solvents, called organosolv processes, enable highly pure lignin to be obtained [9,10]. In this approach, lignin is typically recovered earlier in the process, ...
Within the Waste2Fuel project, innovative, high-performance, and cost-effective fuel production methods from municipal solid wastes (MSWs) are sought for application as energy carriers or direct drop-in fuels/chemicals in the near-future low-carbon power generation systems and internal combustion engi...
Specifically, this study seeks to answer the following research questions: (i) Can the legislatively mandated 20% of the state's highway fuel demand by 2020 be met by using banagrass as the primary feedstock for ethanol production in the state of Hawaii? (ii) Is the cost of locally ...
Introduction One of the challenges in direct ethanol fuel cells (DEFCs) is the enhancement of the slow kinetics of the ethanol electro-oxidation reaction (EOR) [1,2]. It has been reported that the use of alkaline electrolytes can improve the cell performance because the formation of CO2 in ...
