Bio-oil and char obtained from cassava rhizomes with soil conditioners by fast pyrolysis

Biochar and bio-oil fuel properties from nickel nanoparticles assisted pyrolysis of cassava peel

“…Generally, the physical and chemical properties of bio-oil include viscosity, specific gravity, pH, flash point, density, solubility, water content, residual carbon content, volatilization, solubility, thermal conductivity, specific heat capacity and HHV. However, viscosity, specific gravity, pH, flash point and HHV were only determined in this study using the standard procedures reported elsewhere ( Li et al., 2021 ; Rueangsan et al., 2021 ; Tesfa et al., 2013 ).…”

“…Generally, the production of biochar and bio-oil can be conducted from different waste biomass sources such as almond shell, corn cob, rice husk, sugarcane bagasse, groundnut shell, poplar sawdust, food waste, Crofton weed, citrus peel, coffee husk, palm kernel shell, walnut shell and cassava rhizome ( Cheng et al., 2021 , 2022 ; Egbosiuba et al., 2020a ; Ifa et al., 2020 ; Islam et al., 2021 ; Kalair et al., 2021 ; Morales et al., 2021 ; Nkomo et al., 2021 ; Promraksa and Rakmak, 2020 ; Quillope et al., 2021 ; Rueangsan et al., 2021 ; Saleem, 2022 ; Selvarajoo et al., 2022 ; Soka and Oyekola, 2020b ). The quality of the biochar can be determined by physicochemical parameters such as volatile matter, percentage carbon content, fixed carbon, ash content and higher heating value (HHV).…”

Production of bio-oil from Tung seed residues in a fluidized-bed reactor

“…Bio-oil from sugarcane bagasse [ 39 ], hardwood sawdust [ 40 ] and palm kernel shell [ 41 ] showed no presence in nitrogen compounds. While the optimum pyrolytic temperature of other biomasses in the literature was in the range of 500–650 °C [ 10 , [39] , [40] , [41] , [42] , [43] ], the present study showed 400 °C was the best condition for bio-oil production. Therefore, lower pyrolytic temperature was expected to cause less gasification of protein content in Tung seed residues, leading to more nitrogen compounds remained in bio-oil.…”

Reduced glutathione and raffinose lengthens postharvest storage of cassava root tubers by improving antioxidant capacity and antibiosis

“…Besides, Cassava offers many different alternative applications as processed food, animal feed, starch, alcohol biofuel for vehicles etc. As countries develop, their demand for all these products increases dramatically [ 5 , 6 ]. However, the storage tolerance of cassava post-harvest still is the urgent problem to be resolved to improve the high-efficient application of cassava.…”
