A comprehensive kinetics study on non-isothermal pyrolysis of kerogen from Green River oil shale
Kuang, Wuqi; Lu, Mengke; Yeboah, Isaac; Qian, Gang; Duan, Xuezhi; Yang, Jia; Chen, De; Zhou, Xinggui (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Fundamentally understanding the pyrolysis kinetics of kerogen is of prime scientific and industrial importance. Herein, bitumen- and carbonates-free kerogen sample is prepared through Soxhlet extraction followed by ... -
Catalytic upgrading of Biomass derived Oxygenate on Copper based Catalysts.
Hansen, Stine (Master thesis, 2017)Renewable production of propylene glycol (PG) has great interest. This can be produced from biomass derived chemicals instead of today s production, where PG is conventionally produced from petroleum derived chemicals. Acetol, ... -
Characterization and Thermal/Catalytic Upgrading of Kerogen in a Green River Oil Shale
Yeboah, Isaac (Master thesis, 2015)Comprehensive structural characterization of oil shale (kerogen) and subsequent upgrading to fuels are of paramount scientific and industrial importance, calling for a better understanding. In this work, an oil shale from ... -
Hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of simulated bio oil to fuel on bimetallic transition metal phosphides
Sundli, Eline Nesdal (Master thesis, 2018)Environmental concerns and depleting availability of fossil resources, are raising interest regarding energy production from renewable sources. Biomass has the potential for being a CO2 neutral feedstock for fuel production. ... -
Jet fuel range hydrocarbon production from propanal: Mechanistic insights into active site requirement of a dual-bed catalyst
Yeboah, Isaac; Feng, Xiang; Wang, Gang; Rout, Kumar Ranjan; Cai, Zhenping; Duan, Xuezhi; Zhou, Xinggui; Chen, De (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)Utilization of sustainable biomass to produce jet fuel range hydrocarbons is imperatively needed to mitigate CO2 emissions and to liberate the over-reliance on fossil resources. Using propanal as the feedstock, an excellent ... -
Reaction mechanism and kinetics for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane on a Pt/CNT catalyst
Chen, Wenyao; Li, Dali; Wang, Zijun; Qian, Gang; Sui, Zhijun; Duan, Xuezhi; Zhou, Xinggui; Yeboah, Isaac; Chen, De (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)A reaction mechanism is proposed for hydrolytic dehydrogenation of ammonia borane on a Pt/CNT catalyst. A combination of thermodynamic analysis and FTIR measurement reveals that B‐containing byproducts are mainly in the ... -
Tandem Catalytic Upgrading of Biomass Fast-Pyrolysis Constituents to Fuels
Yeboah, Isaac (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:51, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The increasing human population and it’s associated economic, environment and geopolitical demands towards sustainable transport energy have advanced research onto renewable liquid fuel production and aviation fuel range ... -
Trend of Fire Outbreaks in Ghana and Ways to Prevent These Incidents
Addai, Emmanuel Kwasi; Tulashie, Samuel K; Annan, Joe-Steve; Yeboah, Isaac (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2016)Background In Ghana, fire incidents have become a regular occurrence, with thousands of lives and millions of dollars lost every year. Hardly a day passes without news of a fire outbreak in some part of Ghana, causing ...
