Journal ArticleDOI
Towards sewage sludge based biofuels via thermochemical conversion – A review
P. Manara,Anastasia Zabaniotou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a co-processing of sewage sludge with biomass improves the fuel's characteristics and enhances the processes efficiency, while diluting the inorganic and toxic compounds, which is a sustainable solution to algae production using wastewater resources and then to be used for bio-energy production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lignin extraction from Mediterranean agro-wastes: Impact of pretreatment conditions on lignin chemical structure and thermal degradation behavior
TL;DR: In this article, three types of Mediterranean, agro-industrial wastes (olive kernels, grape pomace/seeds, peach kernels) were subjected to two pretreatment processes, a chemical/organosolv and a physicochemical one.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cascade approach of red macroalgae Gracilaria gracilis sustainable valorization by extraction of phycobiliproteins and pyrolysis of residue.
Matteo Francavilla,P. Manara,P. Kamaterou,Massimo Monteleone,Anastasia Zabaniotou,Anastasia Zabaniotou +5 more
TL;DR: Results showed that the bio-oil yield is high at pyrolysis temperature ∼500 °C, but its high content in nitrogenous compounds prevents its use as a biofuel, unless some further de-nitrogenation takes place.
Journal ArticleDOI
Performance analysis of a small-scale combined heat and power system using agricultural biomass residues: The SMARt-CHP demonstration project
Dimitrios Mertzis,P. Mitsakis,Stefanos Tsiakmakis,P. Manara,Anastasia Zabaniotou,Zissis Samaras +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a small mobile agricultural residue gasification unit for decentralized CHP (combined heat and power) production is designed and constructed within the framework of the SMARt-CHP LIFE+ project.
Journal ArticleDOI
H2 enriched fuels from co-pyrolysis of crude glycerol with biomass
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of crude glycerol with olive kernel (OK) was used as pyrolysis feed material to improve the efficiency of the process and as a primary step of gasification give important information concerning the maximization of the produced gas.
