Reaction mechanisms of hydrothermal liquefaction of model compounds and biowaste feedstocks
… but also generate valuable renewable bio-crude oil from many biomass sources. Previously, swine manure has been successfully converted into bio-crude oil through HTL with yield as high as 70% of the volatile solids at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. To further understand the …

Passenger transport in China under climate constraints : general equilibrium analysis, uncertainty, and policy
… of vehicles combining for a reduction in refined oil use; such a policy has modest cost and affects household transport less than other sectors. In contrast, my results show that a stringent emissions cap has large impacts on vehicle efficiency, limits vehicle ownership and general travel …

Solvent extraction of lubricating oils
… when a cylinder stock out of midcontinent oil was subjected to furfural refining in a one-inch in nominal diameter pyrex glass spray column using various ratios of furfural to oil. The oil was passed in tiny drops through the 9.75 feet high column countercurrent to the furfural flow which …

Prospects for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles in the United States : a general equilibrium analysis
… of the vehicle, the relative cost of refined fuels and electricity, and the existence of an economy-wide carbon emissions constraint. Using a computable general equilibrium model, I evaluated the potential for the PHEV to enter the U.S. personal vehicle market before 2100 and alter …

Interaction Between Insects and Apple (Malus X Domestica Borkh.): Insect Behavior, Genotypic Preference, and Plant Phenolics With Emphasis on Japanese Beetle (Popillia Japonica Newman)
… affected by genotype. Spraying trees with oil affected neither fruit insect injury nor fruit phytotoxicity. In choice feeding assays, incidence of Japanese beetle (JB) feeding and leaf area consumed was greater for 'Liberty' than for 'York.' Genotypes did not differ in no-choice feeding …

Improving algal biofuel production through nutrient recycling and characterization of photosynthetic anomalies in mutant algae species
… treatment and conversion of biomass to bio-crude oil. In this system, low-lipid but fast-growing algae were cultivated in wastewater, and the biomass was harvested and fed into a hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) process for biofuel production. The post-HTL wastewater (PHWW) accumulates most of the …

Hydrocarbon pollutant impact on spectral and biophysical properties of willow and grass species
… known if lower concentrations of hydrocarbon in soils (< 5 g/kg) have the same effects as high concentrations and if the impacts observed at leaf scale would be observed at a canopy scale. The aim of this research has been to develop understanding at the leaf / plant scale initially, to then scale …
