Production and characterization of the maximum liquid product obtained from co-pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse and thermocol waste

Abstract

The current study explores co-pyrolysis of sugarcane bagasse, and thermocol waste in a semi-batch reactor to evaluate the in uence of temperature, and blending ratio on yield of products, and reaction time, and thereby characterize the maximum liquid product. The properties of liquid product (bio-oil), and the solid product (bio-char) obtained from thermal sugarcane bagasse, and co-pyrolysis sugarcane bagasse: thermocol waste bio-oil were investigated for physicochemical characterizations. The compositional analysis result of the co-pyrolysis liquid product established the presence of several aromatic compounds. The co-pyrolysis liquid product manifested a higher calori c value, carbon, and hydrogen content as compared to sugarcane bagasse thermal pyrolysis bio-oil. The co-pyrolysis liquid product can be used as a liquid fuel in internal combustion engines, as well as a precursor for valueadded chemicals. The properties of bio-char suggested it can be used as a solid fuel, as well as an adsorbent.

Valorization of Food Processing Waste to Produce Valuable Polyphenolics

“…For example, Chen and co-workers performed the Taguchi method to optimize the thermal pyrolysis of castor meals to maximize the yield of pyrolytic oil . The thermal pyrolysis process of other FPWs such as Azadirachta indica , barley straws, and sugar cane bagasse was also studied to optimize the yield or quality of pyrolysis products, including octadecanenitrile, oleanitrile, 9-octadecenoic acid methyl ester, stearic acid methyl ester, and biomass-derived porous carbon. , Hydrothermal carbonization is a process that exploits hot and pressurized water as the medium to convert the biomass in the hydrothermal reactor into hydrothermal biomass-derived carbon after reacting at high temperature and pressure. Hydrothermal carbonization has the following advantages: (1) using water as the medium, minimal other chemicals need be added, and the reaction process is carried out under closed reactors without potential secondary pollution; (2) the reaction conditions are relatively mild, the reaction time is generally short, and the reaction is easy to control; (3) the process is not affected by the water content of raw materials, which can save tremendous energy cost of the drying process; (4) dehydration and decarboxylation during hydrothermal carbonization are exothermic reactions, which can provide part of the energy to reduce the energy consumption of hydrothermal reaction; (5) the aqueous medium of the hydrothermal carbonization process is conducive to the formation of oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of materials.…”

Exergy sustainability analysis of biomass gasification: a critical review

“…Among various renewable energy resources, biomass energy (bioenergy) has gained increasing acceptance worldwide due to its ubiquitous, versatile, and compatible nature. According to projections of the International Energy Agency, biomass contribution to the global energy supply portfolio is expected to be around 10% by 2035 (Mohapatra and Singh, 2021). In addition, biomass-derived fuels have the potential to provide around 27% of global transportation fuels by 2050 (Mohapatra and Singh, 2021).…”

High stability and recyclable cellulose-based fluorescent paper derived from waste bagasse for anti-counterfeiting

“…Bagasse is considered as one of the largest agro-industrial by-products of sugar industry (Mohapatra and Singh, 2021;Valladares-Diestra et al, 2021). After the extraction of sucrose from sugar cane, the huge amount of bagasse has become a challenge for treatment and disposal.…”
