Abstract A comprehensive valorization of waste generated from the olive oil manufacturing industry and olive grove pruning was conducted. Anaerobic digestion of the sludge waste from the olive industry was performed in stirred tank reactors under mesophilic conditions to remove volatile solids and to generate biogas.

Comparative analysis of alternative fuels in detonation combustion [PDF]
Detonation combustion prominently exhibits high thermodynamic efficiency which leads to better performance. As compared to the conventionally used isobaric heat addition in a Brayton cycle combustor, detonation uses a novel isochoric Humphrey cycle which

The role of biofuels in advancing sustainability: the future Mexican energy system
Abstract In response to climate change, many countries, including Mexico, have committed to reducing their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through agreements such as that reached at the Conference of the Parties in Paris in 2015. As a result, Mexico enacted its General Law on Climate Change, which aims to achieve a 50% reduction in emissions by 2050 in ...

Growth of microalgae in spectrum-neutral, volume-distributed light restriction as the baseline of wastewater exploitation [PDF]
Producing culture media for microalgae from wastewaters may help reduce the culture management and wastewater treatment costs, but concomitant light limitation, nutrient restriction, toxic and growth-promoting effects complicate the preliminary data ...

Cocoa waste valorization: a review and sustainability analysis of green technologies
Abstract Cocoa residues – notably cocoa pod husks and cocoa bean shells – can be valorized for biocompound recovery, bioenergy production, and waste reduction. This review analyzed 1115 publications related to this field to identify key research trends. Interest is increasing in compounds such as theobromine, bioactive substances, adsorption processes,
