Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-indentation of polymeric surfaces
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present results of normal hardness, plasticity index and elastic modulus for a selection of organic polymers (a poly(methylmethacrylate), PMMA, poly(styrene), PS, a poly(carbonate), PC, and an ultra-high molecular weight poly(ethylene), UHMWPE) obtained using the contact compliance method.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biomass as an energy source: Thermodynamic constraints on the performance of the conversion process
TL;DR: An equilibrium model (gas-solid), based on the minimization of the Gibbs energy, has been used in order to estimate the theoretical yield and the equilibrium composition of the reaction products of biomass thermochemical conversion processes (pyrolysis and gasification).
Journal ArticleDOI
Agro-industrial waste to solid biofuel through hydrothermal carbonization
Daniele Basso,Francesco Patuzzi,Daniele Castello,Marco Baratieri,Elena Cristina Rada,Elsa Weiss-Hortala,Luca Fiori +6 more
TL;DR: Preliminary results support the option of upgrading grape marc toward its energetic valorisation through hydrothermal carbonization, and confirm that, in the chosen range of operational conditions, the process is influenced more by temperature than residence time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal Carbonization of Waste Biomass: Process Design, Modeling, Energy Efficiency and Cost Analysis
Michela Lucian,Luca Fiori +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors designed and modeled a hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) process on the basis of experimental data previously obtained for two representative organic waste materials: off-specification compost and grape marc.
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.
