Investigations on Mediterranean biomass pyrolysis ability by thermogravimetric analyses: thermal behaviour and sensitivity of kinetic parameters

Catalytic hydro-deoxygenation of acetic acid, 4-ethylguaiacol, and furfural from bio-oil over Ni 2 P/HZSM-5 catalysts

“…Reaction (3) can be considered a minor reaction for furan production, associated with the formation of CH 4 . Acetone was produced by the ring-opening reaction of 2-methylfuran accompanying the release of C 2 H 4 in reaction (4). C 3 H 6 and C 3 H 8 can be produced mainly from the dehydrationhydrogenation of acetone in reaction (7), and C 2 H 4 can be easily converted to C 2 H 6 by hydrogenation.…”

“…Bio-oil from fast pyrolysis of biomass contains abundantly soluble and oxygenated organics such as carboxylic acids, guaiacols and aldehydes etc. [1][2][3][4], which result in strong acidity, high viscosity, low nickel phosphide supported on acid solids (Al 2 O 3 , HZSM-5, etc.) as catalysts for HDO attracted researcher's attention since acid supports can promote synergic interactions between the metal active phase and their intrinsic acid sites [13][14][15].…”

Biohydrogen production by Thermotoga maritima from a simplified medium exclusively composed of onion and natural seawater

“…However, this heavy dependence on fossil fuels results in a series of environmental problems, e.g., global warming and air pollution, and generates sustainability problems in the face of a continuously increasing demand. Thus, to solve the energy crisis and environmental degradation, exploring clean and renewable energy alternatives is crucial [1,2].…”

Anaerobic co-digestion of dairy raw by-products and Ulva sp. macroalgae: effect of organic and inorganic additives

“…The methane is the main component of natural gas and can be used as a fuel or as a feedstock in the chemical industry, depending on the quality of the processed gas. Biogas can be considered as a replacement for fossil gas fuels used in transport and power production, in order to handle environmental concerns [2][3][4]. It can be produced by the anaerobic digestion (AD) of organic matter contained in food processing wastes, lignocellulosic biomass, and animal manures, which contain carbohydrates, fats and proteins.…”

“…Particular interest may be assigned to the macroalgae or microalgae biomasses as feedstocks to produce energy [18]. Indeed, macroalgae biomass can be used as potential materials for the biogas and bioethanol production, because of their high level of carbohydrates and low contents of lignins [3].…”
