Recent update on gasification and pyrolysis processes of lignocellulosic and algal biomass for hydrogen production

Kirti Mishra et al.

Summary: Gasification and pyrolysis are promising routes for biomass transformation into energy, especially in hydrogen production through biomass gasification. Energy constraints, growing demand, and economic and environmental issues are the main challenges. Researchers worldwide are investigating alternative energy sources with lower emissions and higher efficiency. Algal biomass is considered valuable for the third generation biofuel feedstock due to its rapid growth rate and lower cultivation area requirements. This review discusses the different types of biomass used for hydrogen production, such as cellulose, algal biomass, and waste-activated sludge, highlighting the thermochemical conversion methods and their prospects for enhancing hydrogen production.

Exposing and understanding synergistic effects in co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic waste via machine learning

Prapaporn Prasertpong et al.

Summary: This study developed interpretable models using XGBoost machine learning and Shapley additive explanation to predict bio-oil yields and synergistic effects during co-pyrolysis of biomass and plastic waste. The XGBoost models achieved a prediction accuracy of nearly 0.90 R2 for bio-oil yields and greater than 0.85 R2 for synergistic effects. The findings revealed that reaction temperature and biomass-to-plastic ratio were the top two important features, but the overall contributions of feedstock characteristics exceeded 60% in the co-pyrolysis system. This provides insights into co-pyrolysis and potential pathways for improvement.

Biohydrogen production from furniture waste via catalytic gasification in air over Ni-loaded Ultra-stable Y-type zeolite

Soheil Valizadeh et al.

Summary: This study investigated the air gasification of furniture waste using nickel-loaded ultra-stable Y-type zeolites to produce biohydrogen. The effects of various factors, such as SiO2/Al2O3 ratio, nickel loading, and reaction temperature, on the catalytic gasification process were examined. The results showed that a nickel loading of 5wt% on the zeolite catalyst led to higher gas yield and hydrogen concentration, as well as lower concentrations of harmful compounds. By optimizing the reaction conditions, it is possible to transform furniture waste into hydrogen-rich syngas with reduced pollution levels.

Exergetic sustainability analysis of municipal solid waste treatment systems: A systematic critical review

Salman Soltanian et al.

Summary: The growing volume of municipal solid waste (MSW) generated worldwide often undergoes open dumping, landfilling, or uncontrolled burning, releasing massive pollutants and pathogens into the soil, water, and air. On the other hand, MSW can be used as a valuable feedstock in biological and thermochemical conversion processes to produce bioenergy carriers, biofuels, and biochemicals in line with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Valorizing MSW using advanced technologies is highly energy-intensive and chemical consuming.

Rei-Yu Chein et al.

Summary: This study analyzed the methanol synthesis performance using CO2 and syngas as feedstock, finding that increasing reactor diameter can enhance methanol yield but large pressure drops may reduce the yield. Removing water and increasing reaction temperature were found to increase methanol yield and CO2 conversion. Additionally, higher CH4 content in the biogas can lead to higher methanol production and using a higher recycle ratio for unreacted syngas can enhance methanol production.
