Biomass Waste Carbonization in Piranha Solution: A Route to Hypergolic Carbons? [PDF]
Micro, 2022 In the present work we report for the first time the carbonization of biomass waste, such as stale bread and spent coffee, in piranha solution (H2SO4-H2O2) at ambient conditions. Carbonization is fast and exothermic, resulting in the formation of carbon nanosheets at decent yields of 25–35%, depending on the starting material.

Medical Peat Waste Upcycling to Carbonized Solid Fuel in the Torrefaction Process
Energies, 2021 Peat is the main type of peloid used in Polish cosmetic/healing spa facilities. Depending on treatment and origin, peat waste can be contaminated microbiologically, and as a result, it must be incinerated in medical waste incineration plants without ...

Post-disaster waste management with carbon tax policy consideration
Energy Reports, 2021 Generally, the activities of post-disaster waste management usually produce high carbon emissions, which can cause damage to the environment. However, the issue of carbon emissions in the post-disaster waste supply chain is neglected.

Agro-industrial waste to solid biofuel through hydrothermal carbonization [PDF]
Waste Management, 2016 In this paper, the use of grape marc for energy purposes was investigated. Grape marc is a residual lignocellulosic by-product from the winery industry, which is present in every world region where vine-making is addressed. Among the others, hydrothermal carbonization was chosen as a promising alternative thermochemical process, suitable for the ...
