The textile industry generates millions of tons waste annually, making this sector one the most polluting in world. objective research was to study energy potential three industrial wastes vegetable and animal origin: CW (card waste), SFW (short fibre waste) W (wool), using conventional flash pyrolysis at 500 °C 750 °C. thermogravimetric profiles were very different from W. In general, bio-oil yield higher low-temperature (up 55 %). gas obtained by has flue content lower CO2 so their high...

Residual biomass is a valuable and growing by-product, but often underutilized. This research aims to investigate the possible strategies for energetic valorisation of agri-food industry wastes: grape seed chestnut shell. Pyrolysis thermal process was selected this work. Applied biomass, pyrolysis promising method simultaneous production biochar, bio-oil, gas. Two different processes were conducted: conventional at 750 °C flash 850 °C. Flash yielded superior product properties compared...

Nowadays, the scarcity of energy resources is promoting search for alternative sources, boosting interest in use forest lignocellulosic residue sector. In this study, focus on recovery from two residues originated during pruning ornamental trees (Horse Chestnut, CI, and False Acacia, FA). Both conventional flash pyrolysis techniques were applied. The experimental variables obtained study thermal behaviour thermogravimetric analysis. It was carried out under 5 heating rates kinetic parameters...

The flammability and explosibility properties of olive stone exhausted cake dusts were determined in this study. results indicated that both materials could form explosive atmospheres or lead to a dust layer fire. However, it was found the former requires more severe safety measures, since is prone spark ignition hot-surface than latter. Furthermore, explosion would also be stronger faster for cake. TGA tests carried out study thermal behaviour these estimate their self-ignition risk. Olive...

Microalgae are aquatic photosynthetic prokaryotic or eukaryotic microorganisms which cultivation for the fixation of CO2 and production biofuels has received large attention. However, sustainable development an algal biorefinery is still a challenge. In this context, valorization microalgae biomass wastewater adsorptive treatment may be option to explore. Recently, presence emerging contaminants (ECs) in natural waters associated risks have led great concern, especially case pharmaceuticals....

Numerous studies have evaluated compost teas' capacity to suppress plant disease, but no study has been made of possible tea phytotoxicity. In this study, 24 assays were carried out on produced from three different composts: one bovine manure (M) and two others municipal solid waste differing in the degree stability (stable: MSW I unstable: II); using aeration systems: continuous discontinuous aeration, at temperatures: 10, 20 30°C. The aim was evaluate influence production conditions...

The gasification of sewage sludge was carried out in a simple atmospheric fluidized bed gasifier. Flow and fuel feed rate were adjusted for experimentally obtaining an air mass : ratio (A/F) 0.2 < A/F 0.4. Fuel characterization, power balances, produced gas composition, phase alkali ammonia, tar concentration, agglomeration tendencies, efficiencies assessed. Although accumulation material inside the reactor main problem, this avoided by removing adding media along gasification. This...

The drying process of paper has many production parameters that can influence both the energy consumed and characteristics produced. It was found most previous studies conducted on this assume conditions facilities are always appropriate. control variables associated with air circulating inside hood is essential to obtain a adequate quality low ratios consumption CO2 emissions. This article proposes new indirect method based study enthalpy airflows hall thermographic images helps analyze...
