“…Large amount and CO 2 neutrality with low sulfur and nitrogen contents make biomass a sustainable and eco-friendly energy source [28][29][30][31][32]. Recently bio-oil has been paid attention to provide fuels and chemicals and the residues of pyrolysis could be used as soil fertilizer [33][34][35][36][37][38]. Biomass is a CO 2, H 2 and syngas neutral energy source that has considerable stockpile.…”

The aim of this study was to separate phenol from Bio-Oil obtained from the pyrolysis of agricultural wastes (BAW). The BAW was obtained in one step catalytic pyrolysis in which temperature of the reactor was kept at 30°C and then increased up to 900°C. After pyrolysis, the BAW was distillated and analyzed by Gas chromatography and Mass spectrometry (GC-MS) technique and comprehensive two-dimensional gas chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry detection (GC × GC/TOFMS) Where BAW showed the presence of more than 120 other important compounds and phenol. After detection, phenol was separated by solvent extraction method, where Ethyl ether (C 4 H 10 O), Caustic soda (NaOH) and Hydrochloric acid (HCl) were used to separate phenol from BAW and then Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) was done to confirm the recovery of phenol.

Lowering greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions: techno‐economic analysis of biomass conversion to biofuels and value‐added chemicals

It is important for researchers to look at alternative fuels to reduce dependence on fossil fuels as a primary source of energy, to protect the environment, and to reduce greenhouse‐gas emissions. An alternative fuel has to be environment friendly and economically viable, both in terms of production and suitability for the modern world. Fuel derived from biomass has long been viewed as a potential replacement. First‐generation biomass‐derived fuels such as bioethanol and biodiesel have already been competing with conventional fuels, assisted by legislation. This review paper assesses the feasibility of adapting and incorporating second‐generation advanced biofuel production technology for the thermochemical conversion of biomass to produce alternative fuels. The conversion technologies considered here are pyrolysis and gasification, and their potential has been examined using techno‐economic assessment (TEA). A brief overview of different business models that can be incorporated during TEA has also been discussed. Techno‐economic assessment data help in determining costs of technologies if they are employed on a commercial scale, especially in terms of per unit cost of product. The review has compiled the technical and economic data available for assessing the types and combination of processes that can assist competitiveness in the existing market. © 2019 Society of Chemical Industry and John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Heuristic Methodology for Estimating the Liquid Biofuel Potential of a Region

et al. 2016

This paper presents a heuristic methodology for estimating the possible variation of the liquid biofuel potential of a region, an appraisal made for a future period of time. The determination of the liquid biofuel potential has been made up either on the account of an average (constant) yield of the energetic crops that were used, or on the account of a yield that varies depending on a known trend, which can be estimated through a certain method. The proposed methodology uses the variation of the yield of energetic crops over time in order to simulate a variation of the biofuel potential for a future ten year time period. This new approach to the problem of determining the liquid biofuel potential of a certain land area can be useful for investors, as it allows making a more realistic analysis of the investment risk and of the possibilities of recovering the investment. On the other hand, the presented methodology can be useful to the governmental administration in order to elaborate strategies and policies to ensure the necessity of fuels and liquid biofuels for transportation, in a certain area. Unlike current methods, which approach the problem of determining the liquid biofuel potential in a deterministic way, by using econometric methods, the proposed methodology uses heuristic reasoning schemes in order to reduce the great number of factors that actually influence the biofuel potential and which usually have unknown values.
