“…Big companies, such as Siemens, Shell, and ConocoPhillips have put up IGCC facilities around the world (Hoffmann and Szklo 2011). Mahinpey and Gomez (2016) reported that the IGCC plants are designed with CO 2 and sulfur capture in order to take away the majority of such harmful constituents from the product gas. Mahinpey and Gomez (2016) explained one of the possible gasification routes of power generation from different feedstock.…”

Coal combustion and gasification are the processes to utilize coal for production of electricity and many other applications. Global energy demand is increasing day by day. Coal is an abundant source of energy but not a reliable source as it results into high CO 2 emissions. Energy industries are expected to decrease the CO 2 emission to prevent global warming. Coal gasification is a process that reduces the CO 2 emission and emerges as a clean coal technology. Coal gasification process is regulated by several operating parameters. A Number of investigations have been carried out in this direction. A critical review of the work done by several researchers in the field of coal gasification has been compiled in this paper. The effect of several operating parameters such as coal rank, temperature, pressure, porosity, reaction time and catalyst on gasification has been presented here.

Whereas the bulk chemical industry has historically sought economic advantage through economies of scale, a paradigm shift has researchers developing systems on smaller scales. Nano-cages and nano-actuators increase selectivity and robustness at the molecular scale. In parallel, micro-contactors with sub-millimetre lateral dimensions are decreasing boundary layers that restrict heat and mass transfer and thus meet the objectives of process intensification with great increases in productivity with a smaller footprint. These contactors continue to serve chemical engineers and chemists to synthesize fine chemicals and characterize catalysts; however, they have now been adopted for sensors in biological and biochemical systems. A bibliometric analysis of articles indexed in the Web of Science in 2016 and 2017 identified five major clusters of research: catalysis and bulk chemicals; nanoparticles; organic synthesis and flow chemistry; systems and micro-fluidics applied to biochemistry; and micro-channel reactors and mass transfer. In the early 1990s, less than 100 articles a year mentioned micro-reactors, while over 943 articles mentioned it in 2017. Here, we introduce micro-reactors and their role in the continuous synthesis of fine chemicals across the various scales to commercialization.

“…The production of syngas from biomass and organic wastes is mainly accomplished by means of gasification processes (Mahinpey and Gomez, ), although new emerging thermal conversion technologies, such as the microwave‐induced pyrolysis (MIP) has been reported as an effective and greener way to increase the waste conversion to H 2 and CO (Budarin et al ., ; Beneroso et al ., , , ,b,c). The attractiveness behind MIP is the fact that microwaves are able to induce an instantaneous and volumetric heating within the samples and thus, overcoming heat transfer constraints as a result of the low thermal conductivity of biomass and biowastes (Beneroso et al ., ; Beneroso and Fidalgo, ).…”

SummaryThe massive production of urban and agricultural wastes has promoted a clear need for alternative processes of disposal and waste management. The potential use of municipal solid wastes (MSW) as feedstock for the production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHA) by a process known as syngas fermentation is considered herein as an attractive bio‐economic strategy to reduce these wastes. In this work, we have evaluated the potential of Rhodospirillum rubrum as microbial cell factory for the synthesis of PHA from syngas produced by microwave pyrolysis of the MSW organic fraction from a European city (Seville). Growth rate, uptake rate, biomass yield and PHA production from syngas in R. rubrum have been analysed. The results revealed the strong robustness of this syngas fermentation where the purity of the syngas is not a critical constraint for PHA production. Microwave‐induced pyrolysis is a tangible alternative to standard pyrolysis, because it can reduce cost in terms of energy and time as well as increase syngas production, providing a satisfactory PHA yield.
