“…represents the elemental composition of dry Moringa Oleifera the result shows that carbon has a higher composition than any other element present in the Moringa Oleifera this is due to the amount of Carbon dioxide that the Moringa tree absorbed. The result also shows that Moringa Oleifera has less percentage of Hydrocarbonate composition, the result shows in agreement with the result found by(Mahmet, 2019) on Nitrogen composition.…”

Proper disposal of treated water sludge is one of the main challenges water treatment Plants are facing globally. This entails disposing of sludge in such a way that it will not be harmful to the environment due to the chemicals used during the treatment of the water. The disposal of sludge conditioned by chemical polymers has an adverse effect on health and the environment. The use of natural polymers (such as wool polymer) has been explored to reduce adverse effects that come from chemical polymers (polyurethane). Elemental compositions of Moringa Oleifera were distinctive using ultimate analysis, proximate Analysis, Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive X-ray fluoresce. Characterization was done to examine the composition, functional characteristics, and physico-chemical properties of moringa oleifera . The proximate result showed that Moringa oleifera contains 36.34% of crude lipids, 3.78% of moisture,4.08% of Ash, 4.70% of crude fibre, 29.56% of crude protein, and 21.54% of carbohydrate. The ultimate result showed that carbon contains 45.86% and hydrogen has 1.96%. FTIR Spectrum of Moringa Oleifera showed C≡N(carbon-nitrogen) C=N and S-S (Sulphur-Sulphur) stretching bond. FT-IR spectra showed the presence of protein and lipids components. The FTIR Spectrum of the dry sludge showed many vibrations indicating some functional groups like N-H in Amides, alcohols and amines O-H, (Oxygen-hydrogen) C≡C bond C=N, C-H(Carbon -Hydrogen)O-CH3, P-N-C, C-H in aldehydes and acids C=O in Carboxylic acids, and S-S bond ED-XRF showed the elemental composition of Moringa Oleifera; 0.018% Fe, 0.001% Cu, 0.003% Al 9.00%, 0.038% Mg etc. and that of the dry sludge as 9.22%, Fe2O3, 0.572% CuO, 9.63% Aluminum oxide, 29.96% Silicon Oxide, 2.57% magnesium oxide. Turbidity of the treated sample was reduced to the level of Nigerian standard (5NTU). Moringa Oleifera was discovered to be a viable and affordable alternative for conditioning of water treatment sludge.

“…The study found corn-cob to have 61.2% content of cellulose and hemicellulose, making it the highest; while cotton stalk has relatively higher thermo-chemical potential due to its HHV of 19.2 MJ/kg. The most significant properties of particles during fuel combustion are volatile matter and fixed carbon contents [ 25 ]. Biomass materials are enabled for use as energy resources by these two properties because the measure of the ease with which biomass fuels can ignite and subsequently oxidize or gasify is significantly provided by the two factors [ 26 , 27 , 28 ].…”

Briquettes made from carbonized agricultural residues present sustainable material alternatives to wood charcoal and firewood for commercial and industrial applications. However, these briquettes are plagued by property weaknesses including low drop strength and thermal efficiency. Therefore, this study focuses on enhancing the physical, mechanical and thermal properties of composite briquettes produced from carbonized banana peels and waste glass. Composite briquettes comprised of banana peels biochar and waste glass powder (0%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 30%, 40%, and 50%) were developed, characterized, and evaluated using thermo-gravimetric analysis and bomb calorimetry to determine thermo-physical properties and higher heating values, respectively. The thermal efficiency and emissions (CO, CO2, and PM2.5) were assessed using the water boiling test and an emissions monitoring system. Proximate analysis revealed that moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash content of the developed briquettes ranged from 2.5 to 9.7%, 19.2 to 37.2%, 28.7 to 55.6%, and 7.2 to 44.9%, respectively. Drop strength for the briquettes was 84% without waste glass in the composite, increasing to 94–98% with waste glass included in the composite matrix. Higher heating values ranged from 20.1 to 35.8 MJ/kg. Thermal efficiency rose from 22% with no waste glass powder to 40% with 50% waste glass powder addition, while CO and CO2 emissions decreased from 41 to 11 ppm; and 50 to 15 ppm, respectively. PM2.5 remained constant across all banana peel biochar waste glass composites. Notably, even a modest 10% waste glass composition significantly improved drop strength and thermal efficiency, but higher waste glass percentages correlated with elevated ash values and reduced higher heating values. Therefore, the developed composite briquettes can be used in commercial and industrial applications including in some industrial boilers.
