“…3,4 Amongst these, according to the latest statistics of the International Energy Agency (IEA), biomass, being deemed a significantly rich, diverse, and inexpensive sustainable energy source, is considered a promising and attractive raw material for the sustainable production of fuels and chemicals. 5–8 Importantly, synthetically effective utilization of renewable and carbon-neutral biomass resources also contributes to fixation of carbon dioxide in the carbon cycle system, improving the ecological environment and optimizing energy structure, and is regarded as a plausible long-term solution to the aforementioned global issues. 9,10…”

The importance of reducing the strong dependence of the chemical industry on fossil feedstock is no longer a debate. Above-the-ground carbon is abundant, but scalable technologies to supply alternatives to fossil-fuel-derived chemicals and/or materials at the world scale are still not available. Lignocellulosic biomass is the most available carbon source, and a first requirement for its valorization is the complete saccharification of its sugar-bearing components. HCl-based technologies can achieve this at 20 °C and ambient pressure. These principles were disclosed in the 1920s, but the inability to economically separate sugars from acids impeded its commercialization. Avantium Chemicals B.V. developed a modern version of this “Bergius” highly concentrated acid hydrolysis, in which the saccharides in HCl are transformed into furanics without any prior purification, in particular, to 5-(chloromethyl)furfural (CMF). Saccharide conversion to CMF was developed by Mascal in the early 2000s. CMF is extracted in situ using immiscible organic solvents, allowing for an easy product separation. This study not only targets to investigate the viability and optimization of this integrated process but also aims to predict the outcome of the CMF formation reaction by applying design of experiment techniques from the hydrolyzed saccharides varying a broad range of reaction parameters.

“…On the flip side, among the problems brought about by the economic development of emerging economies is the significant amount of waste that is produced and the resources that are not recycled in industrial activities [5]. The biggest environmental minefields associated with waste pollution management is its aggregation to guide decisions on investments in waste circularization and industrial symbiosis such as the construction and long-term sustainability of biofineries [6], [7].…”

The fusion of the circular economy and industrial symbiosis has several advantages from an economic and developmental standpoint. Cooking energy security issues in Africa can partly be solved by the utilization of waste resources in energy technology decisions such as briquetting. However, one of the limitations associated with waste-based briquettes has been identified as a reduction in efficiency when stored for a long period of time under varied storage conditions. The aim of this study was to ascertain the effects of storage time and exposure on the calorific value and mechanical characteristics of a waste-based composite briquette made from oil palm shell and decanter cake after 180 days of storage. The calorific value decreased by 12.99% and 31.40%, respectively, for sealed packaged storage and open-air storage. On the 180th day of the experiment, the packaged storage and the open-air storage registered 1000.48 Kg/m3 and 870 Kg/m3, 72.34% and 100%, 712% and 895%, and 118% and 143% for relaxed densities, shatter indices, resistance to impact, and hygroscopic properties respectively. Manufacturers within West Africa can adopt the findings in this study as a guide for their processes.
