Mechanistic
modeling of the thermal cracking of methylcyclohexane near atmospheric
pressure, from 523 to 1273 K. Identification of aromatization pathways
Original Research
Article
Available online 28 February 2013 Roda Bounaceur, Valérie Burklé-Vitzthum, Paul-Marie Marquaire, Luc Fusetti
Highlights
► A
detailed kinetic model of methylcyclohexane thermal cracking is proposed. ►
It is constructed on the basis of more than 1200 free-radical and molecular
reactions. ► It is validated on a large range of temperature (723-1173K),
near atmospheric pressure. ► The aromatization occurs via dehydrogenation
reactions of cyclohexene and alkylcyclohexenes. ► Cyclohexene and
alkylcyclohexenes are formed by decompositions at high temperature and by
Diels-Alder reactions at low temperature. |

Optimization
and Deactivation Study of Fe-Ce/HZSM-5 Catalyst in Steam Catalytic Cracking
of Mixed Ethanol/Naphtha Feed Original Research Article
Available online 28 February 2013 Ali Zeinali Varzaneh, Amir Hossein Shahbazi Kootenaei, Jafar Towfighi, Ali Mohamadalizadeh
Highlights
► Mixed
Fe-Ce oxide supported on ZSM-5 was used in catalytic cracking of mixed
ethanol/naphtha for light olefins production. ► A new model generated to
estimate the yield of ethylene and propylene considering the interactions of
the parameters. ► Optimizing of Fe, Ce loading and ethanol concentration in
naphtha was performed. ► The effect of ethanol concentration in naphtha in
deactivation of a selected catalyst was investigated. |

A
Simple Fabrication Route of Activated Carbons from Chicken Droppings
Original Research
Article
Available online 28 February 2013 Kazuyoshi Sato, Sho Suemune, Kohei Nitta, Chiaki Nakayama, Shiori Inokuma, Saori Tonooka, Yumi Mamada, Erina Nakamura, Keiichi Kaneko, Takayuki Takarada
Highlights
► We have
successfully fabricate activated carbons (ACs) from chicken droppings. ► The
ACs were obtained without any artificial activation process. ► The
spontaneous activation is ascribed to the catalytic gasification by CO2from
thermal decomposition of CaCO3. ► The ACs are suitable for electric
double-layer capacitor application. |

Thermal
behavior of native, washed and steam exploded lignocellulosic biomass samples
Original Research
Article
Available online 27 February 2013 Zoltán Sebestyén, Emma Jakab, Zoltán May, Bálint Sipos, Kati Réczey
Highlights
►
Functional group composition of lignin molecules was modified by steam
explosion. ► Statistical correlations were found between the functional
groups of lignin. ► Reduced thermal stability of pretreated wood shows the
modification of cellulose. |

Biochar
Production by Sewage Sludge Pyrolysis Original Research Article
Available online 24 February 2013 Evita Agrafioti, George Bouras, Dimitris Kalderis, Evan Diamadopoulos
Highlights
►
Pyrolysis of sewage sludge for biochar production has received limited
attention ► Impregnation of sludge with potassium and phosphoric acid to
catalyse pyrolysis ► Leaching of heavy metals from biochar samples following
TCLP studies |
