Bio-Oil Production by Fast-Pyrolysis in a Recipprocation Biomass Coversion Scheme (RBCS) The reciprocating biomass conversion reactor (RBCR) is a novel means to produce bio-oil by fast-pyrolysis whose core is a re-purposed 4-cycle internal combustion engine. An inert gas and a small volume-fraction of pulverized biomass are input into the RBCR intake, and the crankshaft is cycled by an external energy source to supply the process heat....

Fully Regenerative Liquid Desiccant System For Residential Applications An air dehumidification system includes a modified packed column air stripper for contacting humid air with a liquid desiccant. The dehumidification system also includes a solar distiller for regenerating the liquid desiccant through evaporation of water. The liquid desiccant may be a salt solution, more specifically, an aqueous solution of calcium...

Graphene-Modified Materials for Water Treatment Invention Summary: Granules of graphene oxide may be produced from a dispersion of nanoscale graphene oxide sheets by a spray-drying method. Such granules have a three-dimensional corrugated morphology. The complexity of the corrugations and the size distribution of the granules can be varied through selection of the spray-drying equipment used as well...
