“…Nowadays, this scenario is changing, since biomass is one of the energy-production sources showing the greatest growth potential every year (TORRI, 2013;ZHANG et al, 2013;PATEL;KUMAR, 2016).…”

“…Many compounds such as phenols, ketones, carboxylic acids, hydrocarbons, sugars, among others, are formed during depolymerization and fragmentation processes (TORRI, 2013;ZHANG et al, 2013). Thus, this composition allows bio-oils to present great potential for many applications; however, their application is a great challenge due to their peculiar physicochemical properties (BRIDGWATER, 2012).…”

Solid wastes from furniture industries require proper disposal and may have potential to be used as input in other production chains. The aim of the current study is to assess the use of medium density fiberboard (MDF) to produce bio-oil and carbon black with low emission of toxic elements. A full factorial design was used to assess 27 bio-oil preparation procedures based on the acid digestion of MDF shavings. The influence of three concentrated acid types (HNO3, H2SO4 and HCl) at three different temperatures (25, 75 and 150°C) and digestion times (30, 60 and 90min) was assessed. The contents of Al, Ba, Cd, Cr, Cu, Ni and Pb samples were determined through ICP OES. The Al and Ba contents oscillated between 442.2 ± 235.9 mg kg-1 and 17.9 ± 8.6 mg kg-1, respectively. The Cd, Cr, Ni and Pb contents were below the detection limit set by the technique. The tests showed that the studied material has the potential to be used as bio-oil and carbon black with low emission of metallic elements; thus, it was considered a potential alternative source of biomass-generated energy and, in parallel, it provides the furniture sector with an additional waste management option

“…Catalytic cracking and hydro-deoxygenation are the most commonly used upgrading processes, which potentially can cost more than the oil itself. Thus, a novel approach is necessary to overcome this issue and make the oil from lignocellulosic biomass more competitive and reliable as a renewable fuel (Zhang et al, 2013;Mortensen et al, 2011). Co-pyrolysis is a technique which is simple and suitable for the production of high-grade pyrolysis oil.…”

Concerns about diminishing fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are driving many countries to develop renewable energy sources. The knowledge of the dielectric property is essential to design and develop microwave technology for processing biomass materials. Bamboo biomass was subjected to microwave pyrolysis, to determine the influence of each process on the yield and composition of the derived gas, oil and char products. The influence of pyrolysis temperature and heating rate for the microwave pyrolysis was investigated. A microwave-enhanced co-pyrolysis of bamboo with plastic coupled with Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalyst was studied to produce a high yield of hydrogen-rich syngas under mild operating conditions. Ni was applied as the catalyst loaded on Al 2 O 3 supports. The co-pyrolysis with catalyst not only produced high hydrogen amounts but also improve the quality of the liquid bio-oil.The maximum H 2 content reached 54 vol% for the bamboo using activated carbon as the microwave absorbing agent with ratio of bamboo wood: Plastic at 80:20. The Ni/Al 2 O 3 catalyst dramatically improved the gas yield as well as the hydrogen concentration.

“…By comparison the same value for Octane (a representative component of Gasoline) is 2. 25. As a result, in order to convert biomass to liquid fuels, compatible with current energy infrastructure, all the oxygen atoms and a large portion of carbon atoms should be removed as carbon dioxide which deteriorates economic competitiveness of the biomass conversion processes.…”

“…Nevertheless, research into biomass pyrolysis is multi-disciplinary and multi-dimensional. The diverse array of these research activities include advanced analytical chemistry methods for bio-oil characterization [16][17][18], developing kinetic models for the pyrolysis reactions [19], computational fluid dynamic studies [20], design of new reactors [21], developing new heating methods such as microwave assisted pyrolysis [22][23], optimizing the bio-oil yield [24], developing various bio-oil upgrading methods [25], process intensification [26], techno-economic analysis [27,28] and environmental assessment [29], in addition to enterprise-wide and supply chain optimization [30][31][32]. A recent review of the research into biomass fast pyrolysis is provided by Meier et al, [33].…”

Biomass-derived fuels can contribute to energy sustainability through diversifying energy supply and mitigating carbon emissions. However, the biomass chemistry p`oses an important challenge, i.e., the effective hydrogen to carbon ratio is significantly lower for biomass compared to petroleum, and biomass conversion technologies produce a large amount of carbon dioxide by-product. Therefore, CO2 capture and utilization will be an indispensable element of future biorefineries. The present research explores the economic feasibility and environmental performance of utilizing CO2 from biomass pyrolysis for biodiesel production via microalgae. The results suggest that it is possible to increase biomass to fuel conversion from 55% to 73%. In addition, if subsidies and fuel taxes are included in the economic analysis, the extra produced fuel can compensate the cost of CO2 utilization, and is competitive with petroleum-derived fuels. Finally, the proposed integrated refinery shows promise as CO2 in the flue gas is reduced from 45% of total input carbon to 6% with another 19% in biomass residue waste streams.
