This review presents data on the chemical composition of harvest residues and food <br /> industry by-products as widely abundant representatives lignocellulosic waste biomass. Pretreatment methods, with special emphasis biological are presented an important step in utilization biomass for production sustainable biofuels high-value chemicals. Special attention was paid to methods lignin i...

This review presents the summary of new studies on pyrolysis of biomass to produce fuels and chemical feedstocks. A number of biomass species, varying from woody and herbaceous biomass to municipal solid waste, food processing residues and industrial wastes, were subjected to different pyrolysis conditions to obtain liquid, gas and solid products. The results of various biomass pyrolysis invest...

A process of conversion of solid carbonaceous fuel into combustible gas by partial combustion is known as gasification. The resulting gas, known as producer gas, is more versatile in its use than the original solid biomass. In the present study, a downdraft biomass gasifier is used to carry out the gasification experiments with the waste generated while making furniture in the carpentry section...

A calorific value of various biomass samples (waste of wood, paper, textile, agricultural plants) and liquid biofuels (bioethanol, biodiesel) has been studied in this paper. In addition, a specific combustion heat of the biomass samples was calculated, which almost was coincided with the experimental heating value. It was established that the specific combustion heat of the investigated solid p...

industries in developing countries add new production lines producing altogether different waste stream. this newer waste invariably finds its way to existing anaerobic treatment system causing gradual/sudden change in feed substrates affecting its steady performances. this study investigates steady response of anaerobic reactors subjected to sudden change in feed substrate types, assesses its ...

The problem of global warming is still a major issue, alongside shrinking oil reserves. A great alternative to fossil fuels offered by biofuels, such as bioethanol from lignocellulosic plants. sorghum biomass can be effectively used in many industrial directions. It possible use every part this plant; the grain for food production and straw energy purposes, i.e., bioethanol. aim study was analy...
