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....

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...

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...
