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
From olive waste to solid biofuel through hydrothermal carbonisation: The role of temperature and solid load on secondary char formation and hydrochar energy properties
Maurizio Volpe,Luca Fiori +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a fixed reaction time of 30min to evaluate the energy properties of two types of agro-industrial wastes: olive tree trimmings and olive pulp.
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
Spent coffee enhanced biomethane potential via an integrated hydrothermal carbonization-anaerobic digestion process.
Fábio Codignole Luz,Maurizio Volpe,Luca Fiori,Alessandro Manni,Stefano Cordiner,Vincenzo Mulone,Vittorio Rocco +6 more
TL;DR: This study reports the implications of using spent coffee hydrochar as substrate for anaerobic digestion (AD) processes by investigating their biomethane potential in AD process inoculated with cow manure.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal Carbonization as a Valuable Tool for Energy and Environmental Applications: A Review
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an outlook of the several possible applications of hydrochar produced from any sort of waste biomass sources, in order to match the needs for the specific application.
