Biofuels offer a sustainable alternative to fossil fuel analogues and a path to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and other air pollutants in the transportation sector. Unlike Petroleum-derived fuels, biofuels can be synthesized to have a narrow distribution of molecular weights in the mixture which impacts important properties, such as boiling point, viscosity, cetane number, density,…
read moreVFT has begun to evaluate fiber reactor technology for the separation of nickel and cobalt from an acidic leach liquor representative of a lithium-ion battery recycling process. In preliminary experiments (Figure 2), a sulfate-based liquor with a total concentration of 1.0 g/L of cobalt and 1.0 g/L of nickel was stripped in a single pass…
read moreVFT, Inc has developed a cost-effective fiber reactor extraction process to remove iron impurity from feedstocks. A chloride based Pregnant Leach Solution with a total rare earth content of 89.2 g/L and a total iron impurity 560 mg/L was stripped of 99.8% iron contaminant after a single stage using solvent extraction (Figure 3). Losses of…
read moreVFT has developed a cost-effective fiber reactor purification process to prepare superior quality renewable fuel feedstocks (Figure 2). The Fiber Reactor renewable fuels package incorporates microchanel fiber reactors which effectively remove free fatty acids, metals, phospholipides chlorides and other water soluble groups to the specified targeted levels. As renewable fuel feedstock demand surges, waste fats…
read moreVFT has developed a mild and cost-effective fiber reactor edible oil purification process to obtain superior quality edible oils. The Fiber Reactor edible oil package incorporates a sequence of microchannel fiber reactors which effectively extract free fatty acids (FFA), hydratable phospholipids, and contaminants from crude vegetable oils to the specified targeted neutralization levels (≤0.5 wt.%…
