Journal ArticleDOI
Enhancement of energy and combustion properties of hydrochar via citric acid catalysed secondary char production
Maurizio Volpe,Fábio Codignole Luz,Nepu Saha,M. Toufiq Reza,Maryanne Chelang’at Mosonik,Roberto Volpe,Antonio Messineo +6 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the use of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) to upgrade agro-waste into solid bio-fuels and used citric acid (CA) as a catalyst capable of enhancing energy properties of hydrochars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Porosity of anodic alumina membranes from electrochemical measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a procedure based on the high-field mechanism of the growth of anodic oxides was developed in order to evaluate the morphological features of porous layers, and the satisfactory agreement between theoretical and experimental findings indicates that porosity can be evaluated by current density data and vice-versa.
Journal ArticleDOI
On the suitability of thermogravimetric balances for the study of biomass pyrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of typical analyses of biomass thermogravimetry to variations in bed depth has been assessed, and it has been demonstrated that this sensitivity is amplified at higher heating rates and temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Environmental assessment of a waste-to-energy practice: The pyrolysis of agro-industrial biomass residues
Maria Anna Cusenza,Sonia Longo,Maurizio Cellura,Francesco Guarino,Antonio Messineo,Marina Mistretta,Maurizio Volpe +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential environmental impacts related to bio-char production from the pyrolysis of several different agro-industrial residues and different temperatures and identifies the process hot spots.
