The first strand involves a critical overview of the design of experimental methods used for examining the thermal behaviour of solid fuels [pyrolysis, liquefaction and gasification], while the second will emphasise chemical structures and molecular mass distributions of coal de…
Research on the role of states and markets in the hydrocarbon sector is highly topical in contemporary International Political Economy. In some areas, this is a result of new hydrocarbon discoveries, in others it relates to factors like unsatisfactory progress in energy markets …
Part 1. Diamondoids : structures, properties, and applications -- part 2. Isolation and organic chemical synthesis of diamondoids -- part 3. Novel approaches for the synthesis of diamondoids by microplasmas.
Over the past few decades, carbon nanomaterials, most commonly fullerenes, carbon nanotubes, and graphene, have gained increasing interest in both science and industry, due to their advantageous properties that make them attractive for many applications in nanotechnology. Anothe…
Hydrogen is one of the most promising next-generation fuels. It has the highest energy content per unit weight of any known fuel and in comparison to the other known natural gases it is environmentally safe - in fact, its combustion results only in water vapour and energy. This …
Hydrogen can be used for electricity generation, for transportation, as well as, mixed with natural gas, for heating, thus reducing the carbon emissions of all parts of the energy system. This book describes the current techniques for producing hydrogen and discusses the current…
The following topics are dealt with: hydrogen production; reforming process; catalysts; supercritical water gasification; biofuels; fixed bed membrane reactors; micromembrane reactors; perovskite membrane reactors; hydrogen separation; and carbon-based membranes.
The development of graphene-related nanomaterials and nanocomposite has shown immense utility in the areas of science, engineering, and technology. These materials include graphene derivatives, graphene-supported inorganic nanomaterials and films, graphene-metal decorated nanost…
