Catalytic decomposition of waste biomass
The project is focused on the development of catalysts for biomass decomposition by pyrolysis with a fixed reactor – a cheap catalyst located directly in biomass to speed up biomass cleavage and boost
use of liquid product in biofuels and a catalyst located on a grate above biomass in gas phase (at 500°C), from which pyrolysis oil condenses. This ex-situ catalyst will catalyze its cleavage to products
with lower boiling point proper for biofuel production. The second goal of the project is the development of a functionalized nanofiber membrane focused on the capture and reuse of hydrogen for a multistage separation unit of pyrolysis gases. The catalyst enable utilizing waste renewable source for a production of biofuel and hydrogen proper as a fuel e.g. for buse
Katalytický rozpad odparní biomasy.
Cílem projektu je vývoj katalyzátorů pro rozklad biomasy z pyrolýzy s pevným reaktorem,a to levného umístěného in-situ v biomase, který urychlí štěpení biomasy a zlepší využitelnost kapalného produktu v biopalivech, a/nebo katalyzátoru umístěného ex-situ na roštu nad biomasou ve fázi při 500°C plynné, z níž pak kondenzuje pyrolyzní kapalina, a bude katalyzovat její štěpení na níže vroucí produkty vhodné jako polotovar pro přípravu biopaliv. Druhým cílem projektu je vývoj funkcionalizované nanovlákenné membrány zaměřené na záchyt a zpětné využití vodíku pro vícestupňovou separační jednotku pyrolýzních plynů. Katalyzátory umožní využití odpadního obnovitelného zdroje pro výrobu biopaliva a vodíku jako paliva např. pro autobusy.
