Converting Waste Toilet Paper into Electricity: A First-Stage Technoeconomic Feasibility Study

We studied the possibility of converting waste toilet paper (WTP) into electricity. WTP is a waste stream with continuous availability and negative cost, but it is difficult to handle, as it contains fecal matter. The process we explored had two stages: WTP gasification followed by direct conversion into electricity in a high-temperature...

Butane Dry Reforming Catalyzed by Cobalt Oxide Supported on Ti₂AlC MAX Phase

MAX (M_n+1AX_n) phases are layered carbides or nitrides with a high thermal and mechanical bulk stability. Recently, it was shown that their surface structure can be modified to form a thin non-stoichiometric oxide layer, which can catalyze the oxidative dehydrogenation of butane. Here, the use of a Ti₂AlC MAX...
