Experimental and numerical investigation of CO2-dilute, natural gas oxy-fuel combustors operating with hydrogen-enrichment from a decarbonized gas supply network KU Leuven
One method to store excess renewable energy is to generate “green” hydrogen by means of electrolysis and then to inject the hydrogen into the existing natural gas (NG) network. However it is expected that the injection of hydrogen in NG will promote the formation of nitrous oxides (NOx) on conventional NG combustors. This undesirable effect can be entirely avoided by using pure oxygen instead of air as oxidizing agent, through the use of ...
Regioselective C-H hydroxylation using Pt(II) and molecular oxygen KU Leuven
Primary aliphatic alcohols are of paramount importance as structural building blocks, versatile precursors and fine chemicals in a wide variety of industrial applications, e.g. pharmaceutical, polymer and surfactant syntheses. In terms of large-scale manufacturing, companies such as Sasol or P&G however still rely on energy-intensive, multi-step processes and, hence, are burdened with high investment and operational costs. Driven by a ...

Ammonia recovery from anaerobic digestion via gas-liquid stripping, and its subsequent utilisation in a solid oxide fuel cell for electricity production KU Leuven
The PhD focuses on the removal, recovery and utilization of N from waste streams with both a high N concentration and high organic content, such as manure. Conventionally, these streams are treated through the process of anaerobic digestion, producing biogas of which the CH4 is also considered a potential fuel for a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC). This project is composed of two research tracks: i) The first idea is to use the produced biogas ...
