Enzyme-Lignin Binding Variation in Commercial Cellulase Preparations Bind Differently to Dioxane Extracted Lignins

May 1, 2017
Author(s)
John M. Yarbrough, Ashutosh Mittal, Elisabeth Mansfield, Larry Taylor, Stephen R. Decker, Michael E. Himmel, Todd B. Vinzant
Commercial fungal cellulases used in biomass-to-biofuels processes can be grouped into three general classes: native, augmented, and engineered. Colorimetric assays for general glycosyl hydrolase activities showed distinct differences in enzyme binding to

Classification of petroleum Standard Reference Materials and other fuels by chemometric analysis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry data

February 23, 2017

Werickson Fortunato de Carvalho Rocha, Michele M. Schantz, David Sheen, Katrice Lippa, Pamela M. Chu
As feedstocks transition from conventional oil to increasing amounts of unconventional petroleum sources and biomass, it will be necessary to determine whether a particular fuel or fuel blend is suitable for use in engines. Certifying a fuel as safe for

Deconvoluting the Influences of 3D Structure on the Performance of Photoelectrodes for Solar-Driven Water Splitting

Abstract Three-dimensionally (3D) structured photoelectrodes offer a number of potential benefits for solar fuels production compared to conventional planar photoelectrodes, including decreased optical losses, higher surface area for catalysis, more facile

Multi-Component Fe-Ni Oxide Nanocatalysts for Oxygen Evolution and Methanol Oxidation Reactions under Alkaline Conditions

November 29, 2016

Stephanie L. Candelaria, Nicholas M. Bedford, Taylor J. Woehl, Nikki S. Rentz, Allison R. Showalter, Svitlana Pylypenko, Bruce A. Bunker, Sungsik Lee, Benjamin Reinhart, Yang Ren, S P. Ertem, E. B. Coughlin, Nicholas A. Sather, James L. Horan, Andrew M. Herring, Lauren F. Greenlee
The electrolysis of water for hydrogen generation and the electrochemical oxidation of alternative fuels such as methanol for alkaline fuel cells often relies on the use of precious metal catalysts. However, the scarcity and high cost of these precious

Reference Correlations of the Thermal Conductivity of Ethylene and Propylene

August 9, 2016
Author(s)
A. Koutian, Marc J. Assael, Marcia L. Huber, Richard A. Perkins
New, wide-range reference equations for the thermal conductivity of ethylene and propylene as a function of temperature and density are presented. The equations are based in part upon a body of experimental data that has been critically assessed for

Anti-corrosive influence of Acetobacter biofilms on carbon steel

July 19, 2016
Author(s)
Danielle C. France
Microbiologically influenced corrosion (MIC) of carbon steel infrastructure is an emerging cost issue for the ethanol fuel industry. One bacterial species found in ethanol fuel environments, Acetobacter aceti, can convert ethanol to the corrosive species
