  • Bio-oil production from rice husk fast pyrolysis in a conical spouted bed reactor (189 citations)

What are the main themes of her work throughout her whole career to date?

Maider Amutio focuses on Pyrolysis, Chemical engineering, Catalysis, Waste management and Char. Her study in Pyrolysis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Yield, Pulp and paper industry, Bioenergy and Steam reforming. Maider Amutio has included themes like Fluidized bed, Product distribution, Coke, High-density polyethylene and Carbon in her Chemical engineering study.

Her Catalysis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Cracking and Tar. As part of the same scientific family, Maider Amutio usually focuses on Waste management, concentrating on Conical surface and intersecting with Volumetric flow rate and Thermal. She combines subjects such as Cellulose, Husk, Activated carbon, Adsorption and Lignin with her study of Char.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Pyrolysis (76.29%)
  • Chemical engineering (51.55%)
  • Catalysis (34.02%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Pyrolysis (76.29%)
  • Chemical engineering (51.55%)
  • Catalysis (34.02%)

In recent papers she was focusing on the following fields of study:

Maider Amutio mainly focuses on Pyrolysis, Chemical engineering, Catalysis, Steam reforming and Fluidized bed. Her study on Char is often connected to Kinetic energy as part of broader study in Pyrolysis. She has researched Chemical engineering in several fields, including Hydrogen, Nitrogen, Reaction rate, Reactivity and Metal.

Her Catalysis research incorporates elements of Yield, Cracking, Hydrocarbon, Sawdust and Tar. Her Steam reforming study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Coke, Temperature-programmed reduction and Desorption. As a member of one scientific family, Maider Amutio mostly works in the field of Fluidized bed, focusing on Scanning electron microscope and, on occasion, Amorphous solid.

Between 2018 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • Stability of different Ni supported catalysts in the in-line steam reforming of biomass fast pyrolysis volatiles (41 citations)
  • Improving bio-oil properties through the fast co-pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and waste tyres. (38 citations)
  • Behaviour of primary catalysts in the biomass steam gasification in a fountain confined spouted bed (25 citations)

In her most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Catalysis
  • Oxygen
  • Organic chemistry

Chemical engineering, Pyrolysis, Catalysis, Pulp and paper industry and Sawdust are her primary areas of study. Her Chemical engineering research focuses on Char in particular. Many of her studies on Catalysis apply to Yield as well.

Her Pulp and paper industry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Lignocellulosic biomass, Biofuel, Bioenergy, Heat of combustion and Oil refinery. Her work deals with themes such as Cracking, Dolomite, Inert, Carbon and Tar, which intersect with Sawdust. Her studies in Steam reforming integrate themes in fields like Coke, Amorphous solid, Desorption and Oxygenate.
