...Hydrogen Production from Ethanol for Fuel Cell Applications D.Kunzru Department of Chemical Engineering, I.I.T.Kanpur, Kanpur-208016 Email: dkunzru@iitk.ac.in Ethanol is a renewable resource as it can be produced from biomass without contributing to the greenhouse gas emissions. Reforming of ethanol to produce hydrogen is a potentially attractive process. The reactions involved include steam reforming followed by water-gas shift and selective oxidation of CO. The development of suitable catalysts for these reactions is crucial for the viability of the process. Recent studies suggest that the promising catalysts are supported Rh and Rh/Ni catalysts for steam reforming, Pt-ceria based catalysts for water-gas shift reaction and Pt-Rh or Cu-ceria catalysts for selective oxidation of CO. Microreactors are well-suited for fabricating microfuel processors for portable power applications. Further research on catalyst development and heat integration schemes is required to commercialize this process. 1. Introduction Most of the energy we use today is obtained from non-renewable fossil fuels. This has not only depleted the reserves of fossil fuels, especially crude oil, but has also caused severe environmental pollution. Intense research efforts are being made to develop alternative renewable energy sources .In recent years , considerable effort has been expended in developing fuel cells. Hydrogen can be used in fuel cells to produce electricity very efficiently and cleanly, since...

...Botulism ABSTRACT This paper will discuss how one becomes infected with botulism, how it affects the body systems, and the emergency management/ preparedness needed in order to effectively treat this disease. Botulism is a rare, naturally occurring disease that may be caused by deliberate or accidental exposure to the toxins of Clostridium botulinum. The three types of naturally occurring disease are food-borne, wound and intestinal colonization botulism, dependent on the route of ingress of the toxins. It may also be a result of biological terrorism. It presents with an afebrile, descending, symmetrical, flaccid paralysis of motor and autonomic but not sensory nerves. Respiratory failure can occur rapidly with little prior ventilatory deterioration. Management includes respiratory support, specific antitoxin and if wound related, surgical debridement and antibiotics. I will report different cases of botulism and discuss the presenting features that should alert the emergency physician to the diagnosis and direction of further treatment. ASSESSMENT AND SYNTHESIS OF THE PROBLEM Pathology The rare toxin is a protein produced under anaerobic conditions by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum, and affects a wide range of animals, including mammals, birds and fish. Clostridium botulinum is a large anaerobic Gram-positive bacillus that forms sub-terminal endospores. There are seven serological varieties of the bacterium denoted by the letters A to G. The toxin from all of...
