Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal carbonization of biomass residuals: a comparative review of the chemistry, processes and applications of wet and dry pyrolysis
Judy A. Libra,Kyoung S. Ro,Claudia Kammann,Axel Funke,Nicole D. Berge,York Neubauer,Maria-Magdalena Titirici,Christoph Fühner,Oliver Bens,Jürgen Kern,Karl-Heinz Emmerich +10 more
TL;DR: The wet pyrolysis process, also known as hydrothermal carbonization, opens up the field of potential feedstocks for char production to a range of nontraditional renewable and plentiful wet agricultural residues and municipal wastes as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Hydrothermal carbonization of municipal waste streams.
TL;DR: The composition of the produced hydrochar suggests both dehydration and decarboxylation occur during carbonization, resulting in structures with high aromaticities, and process energetics suggest feedstock carbonization is exothermic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of reaction time and temperature on product formation and characteristics associated with the hydrothermal carbonization of cellulose.
TL;DR: Results from batch experiments indicate that the majority of cellulose conversion occurs between the first 0.5-4h, and faster conversion occurs at higher temperatures, and data collected over time suggest cellulose solubilization occurs prior to conversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Fate of Nitrogen in Bioreactor Landfills
TL;DR: Although bioreactor landfills have many advantages associated with them, challenges remain, including the persistence of ammonia-nitrogen in the leachate, which is likely a parameter that will determine when landfill postclosure monitoring may end.
Journal ArticleDOI
Thermal conversion of municipal solid waste via hydrothermal carbonization: Comparison of carbonization products to products from current waste management techniques
TL;DR: Results from batch experiments indicate HTC of representative waste materials is feasible, and results in the majority of carbon remaining within the hydrochar, suggesting HTC may serve as an environmentally beneficial alternative to incineration.
