This scientific paper provides an overview of the current state pyrolysis in Europe, with a focus on mapping key research areas and technologies employed. relied search equations that centered utilization biomass plastics as primary feedstocks pyrolysis, particular emphasis biochar generation different applied. The results showed both plastic can contribute to reducing waste mitigating greenhouse gas emissions. However, release harmful pollutants due presence chlorine other additives...
Coffee processing generates a large amount of organic waste, which has the potential for energy use through biogas production. Although Brazil dominates world coffee production, treating its residue with technology is not practice, especially due to this product’s seasonality, hampers continuous digester operation. The implementation production from residues in concept industrial symbiosis could overcome this. This work evaluates main liquid (i.e., mucilage and wash water) their integration...
Solid-state cultivation (SSC) may be defined as growth of microorganisms on a solid support impregnated or not with nutrient solution in near absence free-water conditions. The use sugarcane bagasse for SSC usually demands that the particles are and moistened solution. Vinasse is main wastewater ethanol fermentation-distillation. As there no reports moistening supports SSC, proposal development an innovative process, valuation these by-products. Thus, aim this research was to evaluate...
Empty fruit bunches (EFBs) are an agro-industrial residue discarded in the environment when fresh palm fruits removed for oil extraction. EFBs abundant palm-oil-producing countries and cause environmental problems. Besides their content lignocellulosic, also contain amounts of residual lipids from separation process. Because has two main types pulp (palm oil) or seeds (kernal oil), may have different compositions. Thus, this work aimed at characterizing lignocellulosic producers. The were...
ABSTRACT This is a pioneer study evaluating the methane (CH 4 ) production potential from residues of integrated 1 st (vinasse and filter cake) 2 nd (deacetylation pretreatment liquor straw) generation (1G2G) sugarcane biorefinery, providing fully chemical characterization them their relation with anaerobic digestion (AD) process. Small-scale assays provided fundamentals for basing co-digestion optimization by assessing optimal co-substrates synergistic conditions. Biochemical Methane...
The proteomics analysis could contribute to better understand about metabolic pathways in anaerobic digestion community because it still as a “black-box” process. This study aimed analyze the proteins of co-digestion performed reactors containing residues from first and second generation ethanol production. Metaproteomics was carried out for three types samples: sludge without substrate (SI), semi-continuous stirred reactor (s-CSTR) with filter cake, vinasse, deacetylation liquor (R-CoAD)...
Abstract Brazil's agriculture and livestock annually generates enormous amounts of biomass, which varies in its biochemical composition. Many studies have pointed out the benefits using this biomass as a substrate for biogas production through anaerobic digestion (AD), mostly via co‐digestion (co‐AD) pathway. The southeastern Brazil – sugarcane, orange, corn, soybean, coffee, cattle, swine, poultry together demonstrated their potential producing that can be used maximizing methane...
Abstract Recently, new solutions have arisen to promote bioenergy expansion, some of which meet the requirements reliability, sustainability, and governance. In Brazil, Sao Paulo state (SPS) is characterized by strong agro‐industrial livestock activities, generates increasing residues in last years with potential produce offer environmental economic benefits. The Brazilian National Biofuel Policy (Renovabio) has been enhanced seek sustainable development, encouraging agribusiness research....
The present work proposes the optimization of co-digestion vinasse, filter cake, and deacetylation liquor in a continuous reactor by adding iron(III) oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles (NPs), comparing results with previous operation without NPs. Initially, tests were carried out batches different NP concentrations, resulting 5 mg L−1 as best concentration to be added along increments applied organic load rate (OLR). Methane (CH4) production reached maximum value 2.8 ± 0.1 NLCH4 gVS−1 (normal liter...
Anaerobic digestion (AD) of residues from integrated first- and second-generation ethanol (1G2G) biorefineries is a sustainable method for energy recovery through biogas production. This study evaluated the co-digestion 1G vinasse, 2G vinasse pentose liquor (from pretreatment sugarcane bagasse production) compared to individual digestions using biochemical methane potential (BMP) assays. The results showed some “key” micronutrients substrates that affected (CH4) production, while their...
O aumento da produtividade do etanol e a geração de bioenergia nas biorrefinarias cana-de-açúcar são algumas das alternativas para aliviar crise setor sucroalcooleiro. Neste cenário, esforços em P&D vêm sendo concentrados produção 2ª (2G), obtido partir bagaço proveniente moenda cana utilizada o tradicional 1ª (1G). A integração (1G2G) eleva biocombustível por hectare plantada, assim como volume correntes líquidas residuais, notadamente vinhaça (proveniente destilação etanol) licor pentoses...
