  • Techno-economic and Life-cycle Analyses of Glucosamine and Lipid Production from Marine Diatom Cyclotella sp.

    Creator:
    Xiang, Xuwen
    Abstract:
    Currently the production of biofuel from algae is not economically competitive with petroleum fuel. However, co-production of high-value products may be able to justify the cost of large-scale algae cultivation. The basic goal of this study is to develop a techno-economic analysis (TEA) and Life-cycle assessment (LCA) for the production...

  • Model programming of a direct contact condenser in solvent free microwave extraction of peppermint oil

    Creator:
    Du, Yihao
    Abstract:
    Solvent free microwave extraction (SFME) has been demonstrated to be feasible in extraction of essential oils from botanical materials. The benefits are no need for any solvent aside from the water naturally in the botanical material and a significant reduction in environmental impact for large scale production processes. However, the...

  • Life cycle assessment of algal biofuels

    Creator:
    Kirby, Bryan L.
    Abstract:
    This thesis consists of three studies to better understand the environmental sustainability potential for algal-based biofuels. Initially, a comparison of recent life cycle assessments (LCA) of theoretical full-scale algal biofuel facilities was developed. These studies include varying boundaries and scope, functional units, and technology maturity assumptions. The comparison converted results...

  • Techno-economic analysis of algal lipid fuels

    Creator:
    Xiang, Xuwen
    Abstract:
    A techno-economic analysis (TEA) was performed to evaluate the technology, cost, and resource use for algal biofuel production based on today’s economics and technology. The basic goal of this study is to develop a model to calculate the mass and energy balances and costs to produce 10 million gal of...
