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.

Wet torrefaction of biomass for high quality solid fuel production: A review
Chao He,Chao He,Chunyan Tang,Chuanhao Li,Jihui Yuan,Khanh-Quang Tran,Quang-Vu Bach,Rongliang Qiu,Yanhui Yang +8 more
TL;DR: Wet torrefaction (WT) is a sustainable subcritical water pretreatment technology to upgrade moist biomass into hydrochar solid fuel with superior fuel properties with the avoidance of energy-intensive conventional thermal drying.

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
Hydrothermal carbonization for the preparation of hydrochars from glucose, cellulose, chitin, chitosan and wood chips via low-temperature and their characterization.
TL;DR: The carbonization degree of wood chips, cellulose and chitosan obviously increases as function of time, while the heating value of glucose increases to 88% upon carbonization for 48h, while it is only 5% for chitin.
