Co-Production of Activated Carbon and Bio-Oil from Agricultural Residues by Molten Salt Pyrolysis

The feasibility of co-producing activated carbon and bio-oil from rice stalk through molten salt pyrolysis is reported in this work. The results indicated that: (1) mixed ZnCl2-KCl molten salt could considerably improve the solid and liquid yield as well as the ratio of H2 and CH4 selectively (compared to the traditional ZnCl2 method), (2) an increase of pyrolysis temperature had the same impac...

Pyrolysis of microalgae residues--A kinetic study.

Pyrolysis of residues from the oil extraction process of two types of microalgae, Chlamydomonas (C. sp. JSC4) and Chlorella sorokiniana (C. Sorokiniana CY1) was studied by means of a thermogravimetric analyzer. Five pseudo-components (hemicellulose, cellulose, lignin, lipid and protein) model with n=1 or n#1 was assumed for a kinetic analysis of the collected pyrolysis data. The model with n#1 ...

A Review of Pesticide Residues in Agricultural and Food Products of Iran

Background & Objectives: The implementation of pest control strategies is essential for reducing food waste and providing fresh safe food product. However, the excessive and uncontrolled usage of pesticides have caused serious environmental and health problems. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of pesticide residues in food products in Iran via exploring the relevant published wor...

The Rapid Screening of Triazophos Residues in Agricultural Products by Chemiluminescent Enzyme Immunoassay

A highly sensitive chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay (CLEIA) method was developed in this study for efficient screening of triazophos residues in a large number of samples. Based on the maximum residue limits (MRLs) set by China and CAC for triazophos in different agro-products, the representative apple, orange, cabbage, zucchini, and rice samples were selected as spiked samples, and the tria...
