Beating treatment to enhance digestibility of fresh grass
Anaerobic digestion (AD) is one of the most popular biomass conversion technologies. AD can be further divided into four stages: pre–treatment, digestion, gas upgrading and digestate. The main goal of pre–treatment is to improve degradability of the material in order to enhance gas production and anaerobic digester performance. Beating treatment as a new mechanical treatment technique has been ...

Carbon Capture and Storage From Fossil Fuels and Biomass – Costs and Potential Role in Stabilizing the Atmosphere
Abstract The capture and storage of CO2 from combustion of fossil fuels is gaining attraction as a means to deal with climate change. CO2 emissions from biomass conversion processes can also be captured. If that is done, biomass energy with CO2 capture and storage (BECS) would become a technology that removes CO2 from the atmosphere and at the same time deliver CO2-neutral energy ...

The conversion of acetol during the concentration process from wood vinegar
Acetol, as one of the components of biomass pyrolysis liquid, is a high value-added compound for medicine synthesis. If acetol can be extracted from the renewable pyrolysis liquid, much environmental and economic benefit may be obtained; but the instability of acetol makes its concentration difficult. To clarify what compounds are formed from acetol during the distillation process, the components ...

Greywater treatment in an aerobic SBR: sludge structure and kinetics
In order to have an efficient operation, sequencing batch reactors (SBR) must support granular biomass with high conversion rates, settling properties, and be able to deal with the inherent variability of the composition of real wastewaters. In this study, the effect of the influent composition and the specific organic loading rate (Bx) on the granulation process was evaluated in two SBRs, ...

Carbon dioxide capture: an assessment of plausible ranges
The projections of energy related carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Special Report on Emission Scenarios (SRES) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) serve as point of departure for an assessment of plausible ranges of CO2 emissions that could be avoided through CO2 capture and storage measures. Scenario and time dependent, sector and fuel specific capture factors are ...

Anode and cathode materials characterization for a microbial fuel cell in half cell configuration
Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are novel bioelectrochemical devices for spontaneous conversion of biomass into electricity through the metabolic activity of the bacteria. Microbial production of electricity may become an important source of bioenergy in future because MFCs offer the possibility of extracting electric current from a wide range of soluble or dissolved complex organic wastes and ...

Biowaste conversion technology for household food and energy security in the Philippines: appropriate on–site small–scale rice husk waste carbonisation
Successful long–term domestic rice research to feed the rapidly increasing population in the Philippines facilitated increased production of the nation's staple from 11.786 MT in 1999 to 16.258 MT in 2008. The additional rice production has correspondingly increased the annual milled rice husk waste resource to around 3.4 MT - currently, a disposal problem for millers who often dump the waste in ...

Organic removal activity in biofilm and suspended biomass fractions of MBBR systems
The moving bed biofilm reactor (MBBR) wastewater treatment process is usually designed based on the assumption that all activity in the process occurs in the biofilm on the MBBR carriers, although there is always some active biomass in the bulk liquid due to biofilm sloughing and, sometimes, free-growing bacteria. In this study the removal of organic matter is evaluated in laboratory-scale MBBR ...

Pellets from biomass power machine vs other gas
With the increase of society's demand for energy, the storage of fossil energy is significantly reduced. Power mining and also coal burning emissions are just one of the major aspects that trigger environmental pollution. For that reason, the development as well as use new energy has actually turned into one of the essential jobs of current social growth. Under this trend, the ...

Role of Screw Press Dewatering Machine in Processing Spent Grains
The brewing industry is an ancient and significant sector that has produced vast quantities of spent grains as a byproduct. Spent grains are solid waste generated during the production of alcoholic beverages, characterized by high moisture content and rich organic matter and nutrient resources. However, the high moisture content of spent grains poses environmental challenges during prolonged ...

Microbial Production of Bio-based Plastics
At the 5th United Nations Environment Assembly (UNEA-5) held in March 2022, 175 countries signed a resolution to end plastic pollution. The aim is to achieve a legally binding international agreement by the end of 2024, addressing the entire lifecycle of plastic products, including production, design, recycling, and disposal. Addressing plastic pollution has become a global consensus, and ...
