“…Similar biomass studies have shown that the thermochemical conversion of wood waste by pelletization is a beneficial pre-treatment to overcome these disadvantages [13][14][15]. Furthermore, pelletization improves fuel properties, such as energy homogenization, strengthening of fuel particles, homogeneity of form, and high energy and heat density [16], [17], [18], [19].…”

This study aims to investigate the possibility of utilizing post-consumer wood waste by converting it into high value-added and environmentally friendly products via pyrolysis assisted gasification and direct gasification. Wood waste supplied from houses and garbage containers by Beşiktaş Municipality, Turkey, was used in the trials. After characterization of the wood waste was done, the experiments were carried out in an updraft fixed-bed reactor at temperatures of 700, 800, and 900°C with dry air (DA) and pure oxygen (PO) gasifying agents with varying flow rate parameters (0.05, 0.1, 0.2, and 0.4 L/min for DA, 0.01 L/min for PO). Wood waste was processed separately into chips and pellets, and appropriate experimental parameters were determined and compared. The maximum H2 yield of 57%, cold gas efficiency of 68%, and mean H2/CO ratio of 2.51 were experimentally obtained in pelletized wood waste. In addition, the maximum H2 production of 51%, cold gas efficiency of 52%, and mean H2/CO ratio of 1.97 were successfully achieved for chipped wood waste. The experimental results demonstrate that in terms of hydrogen-rich syngas, H2/CO ratio, cold gas efficiency, and material conversion, pelletized wood waste is superior to chipped wood waste.

“…During carbonization or slow pyrolysis, charcoal and gaseous products (smoke) are formed [116,117]. Field measures in industrial kilns have shown that roughly 60-65% of the initial bone-dry wood turns into smoke during carbonization [118,119]. When leaving the reaction bed, the smoke from slow pyrolysis can be carried through devices where a portion condenses, generating the raw pyrolysis liquids.…”

The indiscriminate use of antimicrobials in animal husbandry can result in various types of environmental contamination. Part of the dose of these products is excreted, still active, in the animals’ feces and urine. These excreta are widely used as organic fertilizers, which results in contamination with antimicrobial molecules. The impacts can occur in several compartments, such as soil, groundwater, and surface watercourses. Also, contamination by antimicrobials fed or administrated to pigs, chickens, and cattle can reach the meat, milk, and other animal products, which calls into question the sustainability of using these products as part of eco-friendly practices. Therefore, a search for alternative natural products is required to replace the conventional antimicrobials currently used in animal husbandry, aiming to mitigate environmental contamination. We thus carried out a review addressing this issue, highlighting wood vinegar (WV), also known as pyroligneous acid, as an alternative antimicrobial with good potential to replace conventional products. In this regard, many studies have demonstrated that WV is a promising product. WV is a nontoxic additive widely employed in the food industry to impart a smoked flavor to foods. Studies have shown that, depending on the WV concentration, good results can be achieved using it as an antimicrobial against pathogenic bacteria and fungi and a valuable growth promoter for poultry and pigs.

“…The low firing temperature of wood fuels (less than 850 °C) cannot be used for industrial purposes such as metal melting. Therefore, engineers and scientists used the technique of transforming wood into charcoal [ 81 , 82 ]. The pyrolysis technique produces a solid, carbon-enriched, and porous material.…”
