Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of hydrothermal carbonization conditions on the formation of hydrochars and secondary chars from the organic fraction of municipal solid waste
Michela Lucian,Maurizio Volpe,Lihui Gao,Lihui Gao,Giovanni Piro,Jillian L. Goldfarb,Luca Fiori +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors demonstrate the impact of processing conditions on the formation and composition of hydrochars and secondary char of municipal solid waste (OFMSW) and demonstrate that the secondary char is extractable with organic solvents and is comprised predominantly of organic acids, furfurals and phenols.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal carbonization of Opuntia ficus-indica cladodes: Role of process parameters on hydrochar properties.
TL;DR: X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetric data, microscopy and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry suggest that calcium oxalate in the raw biomass remains in the hydrochar; at higher temperatures, the mineral decomposes into CO2 and may catalyze char/tar decomposition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improved prediction of higher heating value of biomass using an artificial neural network model based on proximate analysis.
TL;DR: A novel artificial neural network model with a 3-3-1 tangent sigmoid architecture is constructed to predict biomasses' higher heating values from only their proximate analyses, requiring minimal specificity as compared to models based on elemental composition.
Journal ArticleDOI
Demonstrating the suitability of canola residue biomass to biofuel conversion via pyrolysis through reaction kinetics, thermodynamics and evolved gas analyses.
Mudassir Hussain Tahir,Gülce Çakman,Jillian L. Goldfarb,Yildiray Topcu,Salman Raza Naqvi,Selim Ceylan +5 more
TL;DR: Canola residue may be a suitable biofuel feedstock for low-temperature slow pyrolysis with energetically favorable conversions of up to 70 wt% of volatile matter, due to its higher elemental carbon content than similar residues, leading to enhanced carbonization rather than devolatilization at higher temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass-Based Fuels and Activated Carbon Electrode Materials: An Integrated Approach to Green Energy Systems
TL;DR: In this article, pyrolysis of pistachio nutshell biomass yields a bio-oil high in benzenediols and pyrolys gas enriched in methane and hydrogen, which can be used to produce high surface area activated carbon biochar for use in electrochemical cells.
