Thermochemical liquefaction of water hyacinth
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2013)
The use of non-edible biomass should be investigated as alternatives for biofuel production. Aquatic weeds like water hyacinth (WH) are classified as third generation crops. WH in South Africa is an invasive species that ...
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 ...
Preparation of biochars for co-gasification from sweet sorghum bagasse
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2015)
Biochar is a solid product obtained through torrefaction, liquefaction or pyrolysis of organic material. It can be used for soil amendment, activated carbon for sequestration, or as bio-coal for gasification or co-gasification. ...
Preparation of biochar from sunflower husks (Poster)
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2014)
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 ...
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 ...
Catalytic hydroprocessing of ground cottonseeds in a cottonseed oil and 1-octane solvent to produce renewable diesel. (Slide presentation)
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2017)
