Introducing Temperature as Variable Parameter into Kinetic Models for Anaerobic Fermentation of Coffee Husk, Pulp and Mucilage

TL;DR: In this paper, the bio-methane formation potential of coffee husk, pulp and mucilage was examined in batch assays performed at 21 °C, 30 °C and 37 °C.

Carbon mobilization in oil palm plantation and milling based on a carbon-balanced model - a case study in Thailand.

TL;DR: In this article, the carbon mobilization of palm oil was investigated, from oil palm plantation process to the milling process, so as to determine the associated Carbon Equivalence (CE) and the effects on human and land space.

Influence of the crystalline structure of cellulose on the production of ethanol from lignocellulose biomass

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 1-ethyl-3-methylimidazolium pretreatment on the structure of cellulose and the acquisition of reducing sugars and bioethanol from cellulosic materials was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI

A two-phase sequential approach to design bioenergy supply chains under uncertainty and social concerns

TL;DR: Results of tests show that integrating the concepts of uncertainties and sustainability with geographical information of the area in a two-phase sequential approach outperforms the traditional models, and leads to the creation of 262 jobs, which have a high impact on the surrounding area.
Journal ArticleDOI

Developing carbon nanoparticles with tunable morphology and surface chemistry for use in construction

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced two methods for producing carbon nanoparticles from bio-oils made through hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass and compared the physicochemical properties of the resulting carbon particles.
