Single-stage production of miscanthus hydrochar at low severity conditions and application as adsorbent of copper and ammonium ions

Efthalia Georgiou et al.

Summary: In the bio-circular economy framework, miscanthus biomass was valorized through a single-stage, low severity hydrothermal carbonization process. The produced hydrochars exhibited higher C content and lower O content, with MIS-180 identified as the optimal sample for adsorption of Cu2+ and NH4+. The higher adsorption capacities of MIS-180 were attributed to its higher number of O-containing functional groups. Cu2+ adsorption followed the 2nd order kinetic model, while NH4+ adsorption followed the 1st-order kinetic model, due to different mechanisms involved.

An overview of slagging and fouling indicators and their applicability to biomass fuels

Jakub Lachman et al.

Summary: Slagging and fouling are common problems in biomass firing, and the nature of biomass ash requires a different approach compared to coal firing. Laboratory observed ash fusion temperatures and predictive indices are commonly used to evaluate slagging and fouling propensity, with thermodynamic models and neural networks also being applied for this purpose. Despite the convenience of predictive indices and ash fusion tests, a more graphical solution has been proposed for preliminary slagging and fouling predictions.

Summary: This study demonstrates that different types of hydrochars produced in hydrothermal carbonisation have varied impacts on the original digestates in terms of quality, total solids content, energy content, carbon content, phosphorus content, and nitrogen content. The energy content of hydrochars produced in HTC treatments is similar to that of digestates, but ash content increases. HTC treatments also yield filtrates with high soluble chemical oxygen demand and methane potential, while concentrations of pharmaceuticals and heavy metals are low.
