Co-digestion of sweet sorghum bagasse with scientific and crude glycerols for electricity generation
(PSRC, 2014)
With the global fossil fuel supplies dwindling and the alarming increase of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, the need for alternative, clean energies, from carbon neutral sources is pressing. This impetus advanced research ...
Susceptibility of Saccharomyces cerevisiae to inhibitors and impact on bioethanol production yield
(PSRC, 2014)
There have been increasing concerns in developing countries over the competition between food and energy resulting from the production of bioethanol from edible biomass. Second generation lignocellulose feedstock is an ...
Effect of operating parameters on hydrothermal liquefaction of sugarcane bagasse
(EARET, 2018)
Hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) is a
thermochemical process that produces various products from
lignocellulosic feedstocks. In this study sugar cane bagasse was
used as feedstock for HTL. Experiments were carried out ...
Effect of temperature and cathode material on power production in an earthenware microbial fuel cell
(EARET, 2018)
This study investigates the performance of microbial
fuel cells (MFCs) fed with municipal sewage water considering
parameters such as temperature and cathode materials. Single
chamber ceramic MFCs with the cathode exposed ...
Conceptual design of an integrated micro-algal biomass-to-liquids process
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)
A new integrated biomasstoliquids conceptual process was developed to produce 2.6 million litres of biodiesel per year from harvested microalgal biomass. Three unconventional harvesting methods, a thermochemical ...
Four novel methods for the harvesting of micro-algal biomass
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2011)
The harvesting of micro-algal biomass is one of the most inefficient and costly steps in the whole biomass-to-liquids (BtL) value chain. Harvesting costs may contribute between 20–30% of the total cost of microalgal BtL ...
Preparation of biochar from sunflower husks (Poster)
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2014)
Production of value-added products from biodiesel derived crude glycerol
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)
Crude glycerol, a by-product of biodiesel production which contain impurities such as methanol, triglycerides and catalysts, would represent a huge challenge to the environment if disposed. Thus the best opportunity is to ...
Enhancement of bio-methane production by lignocellulose substrates
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)
In this study, water hyacinth, sweet sorghum bagasse and amaranth stems were used in a pig manure matrix to produce biogas with a high methane content. The anaerobic digestion was monitored over a period of 40 days, after ...
