Comparative study of solid biofuels derived from sugarcane leaves with two different thermochemical conversion methods: wet and dry torrefaction

Jarunee Khempila et al.

Summary: This study investigated the conversion of sugarcane leaves into biocoal through wet and dry torrefaction processes. Wet torrefaction showed better removal of ash and sulfur content, as well as being recommended for hemicellulose depolymerization. Wet-torrefied samples also exhibited higher fuel ratios than dry-torrefied samples at lower reaction temperatures. Overall, wet torrefaction was found to be a promising method for converting sugarcane leaves into solid biofuel.

A novel ?sea-thermal?, synergistic co-valorisation approach for biofuels production from unavoidable food waste (almond hulls) and plastic residues (disposable face masks)

Javier Remon et al.

Summary: This study investigates the synergistic hydrothermal co-valorisation of almond hulls and FFP2 face masks using seawater as a reaction medium. The results show that the composition of feedstock and the reaction medium have significant effects on the distribution and properties of the reaction products. Optimization of the process reveals the conditions for maximizing the yield of liquid biofuel from almond hulls in deionised water and solid biofuel from a mixture of almond hulls and face masks in salted water.

Valorization of disposable COVID-19 mask through the thermo-chemical process

Sungyup Jung et al.

Summary: Wearing disposable face masks to protect against COVID-19 has become common during the pandemic, but the massive generation of contaminated masks is causing environmental concerns due to the release of toxic chemicals during disposal processes. A CO2-assisted thermo-chemical process is suggested as an environmentally friendly disposal method, simultaneously producing valuable fuels from the masks. The study focused on determining the major chemical constituents of disposable masks and employing pyrolysis to produce syngas and C1-2 hydrocarbons, showcasing a potential for environmentally benign removal of COVID-19 plastic waste.
