Synopsis

Advances in Synthesis Gas: Methods, Technologies and Applications: Syngas Production and Preparation is a collection of various chapters concerning many aspects of syngas production technologies, including common methods like gasification, steam/dry/autothermal reforming, membrane technology, etc., along with novel methods like plasma technology, micro-reactors, electrolysis processes as well as photocatalytic systems. In addition, different sources for producing syngas, including oil, crude oil, heavy oil, microalgae, black liquor, tar and bitumen, as well as municipal, agricultural, food, plastic, wood and cardboard wastes are described in detail.

• Introduces syngas characteristics and its properties
• Describes various methods and technologies for producing syngas
• Discusses syngas production from different roots and feedstocks

Prof. Rahimpour has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications and has extensive experience in academic research, scientific leadership, and the development of international reference works in chemical engineering, energy, and sustainable technologies.

Dr. Mohammad Amin Makarem is an Adjunct Lecturer at the School of Engineering, Taylor’s University, Malaysia. He holds a PhD in Chemical Engineering from Shiraz University, Iran. His research covers gas separation and purification, green energy, nanofluids, microfluidics, and catalyst synthesis. Beyond research, he has extensive experience as an editor and contributor to academic publishing, serving as Editor or Co-editor for many books, book series, and major reference works from leading academic publishers. His editorial work spans topics such as carbon capture and storage, bioenergy, greenhouse gases, hydrotreating, oily wastewater, chemical industry crises, hydrogen and methanol energy production, homogeneous catalysis, synthesis gas, natural gas, and renewable energy systems. He recently served as series editor for Advances in Biotechnology: Methods, Applications, and Case Studies and has reviewed manuscripts for prominent international journals, helping guide researchers and industry through high-impact resources.

Maryam Meshksar is a research associate at Shiraz University. Her research has focused on gas separation, clean energy, and catalyst synthesis. In gas separation, she is working on membrane separation process, and in the clean energy field, she has worked on reforming-based processes for hydrogen production from methane experimentally. She has also synthesized novel catalysts for this process which are tested in for the first time. Recently, she has written various book chapters for famous publishers such as Elsevier, Springer and Wiley
