Today is a wonderful Saturday. I have a list of tasks to do but it is quite difficult to work during a weekend break like today. But, I am trying my best to balance both relax and work.
Anyway, I have 2 manuscripts to be submitted for ICLCA but I haven’t yet completed checking both of it. Today, I will be doing just that. Earlier, I received an email about the publication of a manuscript for a PhD student that I currently co-supervise with Dr. Muhammad Tahir. The student, Sehar Taslim, successfully managed to publish her work in Journal of Alloy and Compounds. Click the link below to see and read the manuscript.

Today, after checking and improving slide for TRGS presentation tomorrow, and also after checking chapter 3, 6 and 1 of Nazlina’s PhD thesis, I joined the RCEE conference meeting at CEE, T02. Today we discussed progress of the conference preparation as well as finally discusing about Summer School program which I need to head.

Roughly at 11.40pm this night, I managed to submit an abstract to ICoST2020 conference via EasyChair system. This work which was done by JL Lim, my PSM student who diligently work on the thermodynamic modelling. Hopefully this abstract will be accepted for presentation and subsequently accepted for publication in any of the scopus journal under the agreement with this conference.

Abstract
Thermodynamic properties of ethanol-glycerol steam and dry reforming have been studied with the method of Gibbs free energy minimization for hydrogen production. Equilibrium compositions were determined as a function of H2O/ethanol-glycerol molar ratios (WEG)(1:6-6:1) and CO2/ethanol-glycerol molar ratios (CEG)(1:6-6:1) where ethanol-glycerol is 1:1; reforming temperatures (573-1273 K) at different pressures (1-20 bar). Optimum conditions for hydrogen production are different for both steam and dry glycerol reforming. The optimum hydrogen formation for glycerol dry reforming are temperatures 1073-1273 K and CEG of 6:1 at 1 bar pressure, whereas for glycerol steam reforming, the optimum temperature is above 1073 K and WEG ratio 6:1 and 1 bar. Higher pressure and higher WEG/CEG ratio do not encourage hydrogen formation. Under identified optimum conditions, carbon formation can be thermodynamically inhibited.

Thermodynamic analysis of hydrogen production from ethanol-glycerol mixture through dry reforming

Thermodynamic properties of ethanol-glycerol dry reforming have been studied with the method of Gibbs free energy minimization for hydrogen production from ethanol-glycerol mixture. Equilibrium compositions were determined as a function of CO2/ethanol-glycerol molar ratios (CEG)(1:1-12:1) where ethanol-glycerol is 1:1; reforming temperatures (573-1273 K) at different pressures (1-50 bar). Optimum conditions for hydrogen production are temperatures between 1073 and 1273 K and CEG of 1:1 at 1 bar pressure, whereas temperatures above 1073 K and CEG ratio 1:1 and 1 bar are suitable for the production of synthesis gas. Higher pressure and higher CEG ratio does not encourage hydrogen formation. Under identified optimum conditions, carbon formation can be thermodynamically inhibited
