Partikelform und Porosität von biogenen Pyrolysekoksen

Char particles from pyrolyzed biomass vary in particle size and shape. On average, the particles are more elongated the larger their size. The average size‐specific elongation is almost alike for all investigated samples, i.e. independent from their source material and process. The particle collectives cannot be characterized accurately with classical particle size distributions, which assume spherical particle shape. Accounting for their shape, they can be described more accurately with particle size distributions that are based on an ellipsoid model. The high bulk porosity is mainly attributed to the spaces between particles.     

Mikrowelleninduzierte Thermolyse von Erdöl unter der Einwirkung von heterogenen Katalysatoren

The first oil‐producing regions in the human history were located near Baku. Until the beginning of the 20th century, the Balachany‐Sabuncu‐Ramany region produced more than 60 % of Baku's oil. This oil sources are largely exploited and contain yet only heavy extractable fractions of crude oil. Experiments with oil samples from this oil fields show, that irradiation with microwaves under addition of magnetite catalysts leads to a reduction of petroleum viscosity. It seems to be a new attempt for intensive extraction of petroleum.
