Impact of aromaticity and cetane number on the soot-NOx trade-off in conventional and low temperature combustion
Abstract This paper investigates whether or not two persistent diesel dogmas, namely “the higher the cetane number (CN) the better” and “the lower the aromaticity the better”, still ring true when a compression ignition engine is operated in the low ...

Using pyrolytic acid leaching as a pretreatment step in a biomass fast pyrolysis plant: Process design and economic evaluation
Abstract Removing alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) from biomass, with pyrolytic acids, before pyrolysis leads to increased organic oil and sugar yields. These pyrolytic acids are produced and concentrated within the pyrolysis process itself. ...
