Bio-oil and bio-char production from sunflower hulls
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)In this paper, the hydrothermal liquefaction of sunflower hulls into biooil and biochar is presented. The main manipulated variables that were studied were biomass load, catalyst type and temperature. The experimental ... -
Bio-oil production from sweet sorghum bagasse via liquefaction using alkaline solutions and identification of phenolic products
(Springer, 2020)The feasibility of converting biomass into bio-oil and the effect of an alkaline treatment during biomass liquefaction was studied. Sweet sorghum bagasse (SSB) was treated with NaOH concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 3.0 and 6.0 ... -
Catalytic hydroprocessing of ground cottonseeds in a cottonseed oil and 1-octane solvent to produce renewable diesel. (Slide presentation)
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2017) -
Establishing a techno-economic base case for a second generation bio-refinery : a South African perspective
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2023)A baseline techno-economic assessment for converting organic municipal waste via a novel continuous hydrothermal liquefaction (cHTL) pilot plant is presented. Feed streams, product yields, and product quality were based ... -
In-situ biodiesel production from municipal waste water treatment plant clarifier effluent stream
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)The natural occurrence of micro-algal species in water treatment plants introduces many operational problems. If one, however, considers the high lipid, protein and carbohydrate content, micro-algae become attractive as ... -
In-situ biodiesel production from sunflower seeds using liquefaction
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)One of the most expensive steps in the bio-diesel value chain is the extraction of oil from the seeds. Simultaneous extraction and transesterification will lower the overall capital costs of the process while enhancing ... -
In-situ biodiesel production using liquefaction and supercritical extraction
(North-West University (South Africa), 2016)Biodiesel is an alternative source of energy with the potential to replace diesel fossil fuel. Full scale production however, has been hampered by high production costs since the extraction of oil causes excessive losses ... -
Influence of reaction atmosphere and solvent on biochar yield and characteristics
(Elsevier, 2014)Sunflower husks were converted to biochar via thermochemical liquefaction in different solvents and reaction atmospheres. Highest biochar yields obtained was 574 g kg−1 husks. Surface area of the produced chars and evolution ... -
Liquefaction of sunflower husks for biochar production
(2014)Biochar, a carbon-rich and a potential solid biofuel, is produced during the liquefaction of biomass. Biochar can be combusted for heat and power, gasified, activated for adsorption applications, or applied to soils as a ... -
Optimization of ethanol yield from cassava
(North-West University (South Africa)., 2024)The energy crisis and worldwide economic depression has highlighted the production of biofuels from agricultural materials as an important national policy. Cassava, a root plant indigenous to Africa, is not cultivated ...
