This paper describes the surface modification of glassy carbon (GC) electrodes with a bamboo-based renewable carbon (RC) before and after an acid functionalization procedure with a sulfonitric solution (1:3 HNO3/H2SO4). ...

Renewable energy systems are now accepted to be mandatory for climate change mitigation. These systems require a higher material supply than conventional ones. Particularly, they require more copper. The production of this ...

The updraft biomass gasifiers currently available produce a gas with high tar content. For almost all downstream applications a substantial reduction of the tar concentration is required. The gravimetric tar concentration ...
