Abstract
The vTI‐mini fast pyrolyzer was applied for screening fast pyrolysis reactions of different Organosolv lignins, such as Alcell (Repap Technologies) and lignin from a German biorefinery project. To investigate the catalytic effects on the pyrolysis of the technical lignins, three catalysts such as zeolite HZSM‐5, FCC, and Olivine were used. The catalytic pyrolysis characteristics and decomposition products of the Organosolv lignins were scrutinized by varying pyrolysis temperature and catalyst type. From the pyrolysis experiments, obtained pyrolyzed products were generally categorized into three parts such as coke, noncondensable gas, and biocrude oil. To evaluate the yield of biocrude oil, mass balances of products and reactants were established and the collected biocrude oil was analyzed by GC/MS. From the results, the increase or decrease patterns of certain chemical compounds were found according to the different pyrolysis temperatures as well as various catalysts. In particular, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) was performed for extracts of the solid residue to get information on the catalytic effect and severity of lignin degradation. © 2012 American Institute of Chemical Engineers Environ Prog, 2012

Vesicle‐Mediated Growth of Tubular Branches and Centimeter‐Long Microtubes from a Single Molecule
Abstract The mechanism by which small molecules assemble into microscale tubular structures in aqueous solution remains poorly understood, particularly when the initial building blocks are non‐amphiphilic molecules and no surfactant is used. It is here shown how a subnanometric molecule ... more
The image illustrates a natural phenomenon of droplet formation caused by the condensation of vapor on a nonwettable surface at temperature below the dew point. Real‐time observing the light scattered from the droplets may lead to a new mechanism for vapor sensing. However, the dew point ... more
NO is a key vasodilator in mammalian cardiovascular systems and has been shown to sensitize tissue to γ‐radiation. However, photochemical NO precursors that can be activated by these NIR wavelengths are extremely limited. G. D. Stucky, D. Zhao, P. C. Ford, F. Zhang and co‐workers have ad ... more
Bioengineers Succeed in Producing Plastic Without the use of Fossil Fuels
A team of pioneering South Korean scientists have succeeded in producing the polymers used for everyday plastics through bioengineering, rather than through the use of fossil fuel based chemicals. This groundbreaking research, which may now allow for the production of environmentally consci ... more
In the past, restoration of paintings and other old artwork often involved application of acrylic resins to consolidate and protect them. One of the most important tasks for modern restorers is thus to remove these layers, because it turns out that acrylic resins not only drastically change ... more
Is trash the solution to tackling climate change?
Converting the trash that fills the world's landfills into biofuel may be the answer to both the growing energy crisis and to tackling carbon emissions, claim scientists in Singapore and Switzerland. New research published in Global Change Biology: Bioenergy, reveals how replacing gasoline ... more
