Poultry litter valorization: Development and optimization of an electro-chemical and thermal tri-generation process using an extreme gradient boosting algorithm

Yousaf Ayub et al.

Summary: This research investigated a novel configuration of a tri-generation process for poultry litter valorization, which includes gasification, solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC), and combined heat and power system. Multi-level factorial design of experiments was used to extract simulation data and extreme gradient boosting was applied to predict and optimize the parametric yield of the model. The results showed that pressure has no significant effect on output yield, but it negatively affects SOFC voltage. The optimal hydrogen yield in syngas can be generated at a gasification temperature of around 600 degrees C and a biomass to air ratio (BMR) of 0.25-0.33. The exergy efficiency of this tri-generation process is 34.6% higher than the gasification process. Based on these findings, it is concluded that this tri-generation process could be a better solution for poultry litter valorization.

Innovative valorization of biomass waste through integration of pyrolysis and gasification: Process design, optimization, and multi-scenario sustainability analysis

Yousaf Ayub et al.

Summary: An innovative valorization process for biomass waste treatment has been developed, optimizing energy efficiency, economic performance, and process safety index through a pattern search algorithm. The sustainability index (SI) determined through energy, economy, safety, and electric power potential shows that the optimized processes are more sustainable (SI = 0.517 to 0.563) compared to the basic process (SI = 0.503). The optimized process also has better economic analysis and electric power generation potential, making it more sustainable overall.

Artificial Intelligence Approach in Gasification Integrated Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Cycle

Senem Sezer et al.

Summary: With the growing population and industrial developments, the supply of energy from a feasible and widely available source is important. Biomass gasification is a promising technology that produces lower emissions and allows efficient conversion. The gas obtained from the gasification process, especially in steam gasification, consists of a considerable amount of H-2 and is used in solid oxide fuel cells (SOFC) to generate electricity. However, further research is needed to achieve high energy efficiency in integrated gasification-SOFC systems.

Energy, exergy, and environmental analyses of a poly-generation system based on biomass gasification

Shoaib Khanmohammadi et al.

Summary: This research investigates an integrated renewable-based energy system that utilizes a biomass gasifier for generating electricity, heating, hot water, and freshwater. The study evaluates the emission of the system and finds that the emission cost of NOx is higher than other species due to its harmful effects. The results also indicate that higher values of design parameters result in a decrease in the sustainability index.

Poultry litter valorization by application of hydrothermal gasification: Process simulation, Economic, Energic, and Environmental analysis

Yousaf Ayub et al.

Summary: This research study developed a process simulation model of hydrothermal gasification (HTG) for converting poultry litter into value-added products. The effects of temperature, pressure, and biomass concentration on the quality of syngas and net heat steam were analyzed. The model showed better results at specific conditions, with a higher yield of hydrogen and methane gas and superior lower heating value. The HTG method was also found to be cost-effective, energy efficient, and environmentally friendly compared to direct land disposal.

CO2 gasification of straw biomass and its correlation with the feedstock characteristics

Siqin Li et al.

Summary: The study found that straw biomass with higher cellulose and hemicellulose content, such as corn straw, wheat straw, and rice straw, exhibited higher pyrolysis reactivity. In the char gasification stage, the content of fixed carbon and catalytic ash components played a significant role in determining weight loss and reactivity, with corn straw, cotton straw, and soybean straw performing better in char gasification. Kinetics results showed that the homogeneous reaction model better described the pyrolysis stage, while the shrinking core model was more suitable for the char gasification stage in all straw biomass.
