The study assessed the valorisation of primary sludge through HTL and influence temperature on product distribution. experiments were conducted at different temperatures, 30 min reaction time, 100 rpm stirring rate. maximum yield biocrude produced was 39.47% 270 °C. best oils 23.96% 300 lowest asphaltenes 12.50% 240 HHV for always between 39 41 MJ/kg, close to petroleum. Best energy recovery 82%
The progressive decline of using fossil sources in the industry means that alternative resources must be found to produce chemicals. Waste biomass (sewage sludge) and waste lignocellulosic (food, forestry, or paper industries) are ideal candidates take over from sources. Municipal sewage sludge, especially primary has a significant proportion cellulose its composition. Proper treatment this allows production interesting chemicals like levulinic acid precursors (bio-blocks building blocks)...
Effect of homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysts on hydrothermal liquefaction primary sludge was studied. Biocrude, biochar, aqueous phase biogas were all affected, in terms quantity quality. HTL without any catalyst attained a biocrude yield 37.7 % (w/wVS). The best improvements are observed with CuSO4 (10 %), 42.20 (w/wVS) TiO2 (20 41.90 All experiments produced HHV higher than 30 MJ/kg carbon content 60 %. analysis demonstrated that the major fraction asphaltenes, heavier phase. While,...
Abstract Industrial wastewaters and their treatment are now placed at the heart of environmental concerns that industries face. Some research work has been carried out in order to limit impact these wastes on environment as well costs. In this study, wastewater dehydrated sludge (55% wt. water content) from paper industry was used recover cellulose by using tetrakis(hydroxymethyl)phosphonium chloride, [P(CH2OH)4]Cl, ionic liquid a solvent. The shown remarkable results terms extraction...

Three ionic liquids were synthesized using choline esters of C8, C10, and C12 chains, with potassium lactate as the anion. Their purity was confirmed via1H NMR spectroscopy, indicating their suitability for extracting protein from buffalo insect powder. Extraction initially performed through mechanical agitation followed by ultrasound application. The results revealed extraction yields ranging 46.4% to 64.7%, content between 53.3% 63.3%, verified FTIR analysis. Notably, spectra exhibited...
