“…Summarizing, improvements in environmental performance of bio-based epoxy resins would have a highly positive impact not only on plastics market, but also to energy market by decreasing the dependency on fossil sources, thus, potentially contributing to other indirect environmental benefits by shifting from fossil fuels to biobased fuels, where algae applications for energy purposes are showing to be a potential source for variety of application such as biofuels [53], [54], biogas [55]- [57] and biomethane [58], [59]. Bechstrom et al 2020 [51] concluded that there are already economically competitive pathways for production of algae-based biopolymers.…”

Epoxy resins are widely used polymers from which a variety of products are derived and applied in many industries. Most epoxy resins are still obtained from mainly fossil feedstocks, such as epichlorohydrin and bisphenol A, which are also highly toxic. Additionally, fossil derived epoxy resin products are forming non-biodegradable waste at their end of life. Recently the number of studies aiming to find solutions and other raw materials for the replacement of fossil derived epoxy resins has increased, showing that bio-based epoxy resins are a promising alternative. An interesting alternative raw material for bio-based epoxy resins is epoxides derived from microorganisms, such as epoxidized microbial oil. This review article explores and compares the latest solutions for the use of microbial oils in the production of bio-based epoxides, outlines the prospects for their future use and points out the shortcomings of these solutions.

“…Several studies have attempted to gain an understanding of these combustion soot, albeit for vehicular combustion engines [21][22][23], domestic stoves [24] and various oxidationgasification systems [25][26][27]. Some thermochemical conversion systems do not produce soot as their reaction do not involves combustion and flames.…”

Deeper understanding of all aspect of biomass thermochemical conversion is necessary as researchers pursue multiple avenues for energy and environmental sustainability. In this paper, the agglomerative accumulation of soot observed, captured on the inner surface of the exhaust pipe, during the operation of a top-lit updraft biomass carbonisation system was evaluated to understand its nature and qualities. The soot was evaluated using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), Scanning Electron Microscopy with Energy Dispersion Spectroscopy (SEM-EDS) and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analyses. The combustion fuels were bamboo (Bambusa vulgaris) stalk and stem of African balsam (Daniellia olivieri). FTIR analysis revealed the presence of hydroxyl, aromatic double bond, aldehyde, thyiol and carbonyl functional groups. EDS analysis revealed that the elemental carbon content of the soot was found to be 75.05% carbon with 15.13% oxygen. SEM analysis revealed that the soot has a hollow 2 morphology and a lustrous appearance with white tiny grit grains of carbon nano-spheres. The BET analysis revealed that the specific surface area of the soot was 500 m 2 /g while the pore volume and pore diameter were measured to be 0.218 cc/g and 2.113 nm respectively. The material can find use in water purification purposes, and as an additive in lubricating oils.
