Large quantities of fruit wastes are generated during the consumption and processing fruits. The disposal in an environmentally benign way is a challenging task. biochar production from by pyrolysis receiving huge attention because it can alleviate pollution provide supply sustainably. In this study, five waste types—orange peel, banana mango endocarp, apricot kernel shell, date pits—are examin...

−− The aim of this work is to simulate and analyze an extractive distillation process (extractive distillation and recovery columns) for the separation of Tetrahydrofuran (THF)-Water azeotropic mixture using Aspen Plus® and Aspen Split simulators. Calculation of vapor liquid equilibrium of Tetrahydrofuran–Water–Entrainer system was done using the NRTL model, which binary interaction parameters ...

The economic feasibility of a facility producing monosaccharides, hydrogen and transportation fuels via fast pyrolysis and upgrading pathway was evaluated by modeling a 2000 dry metric ton biomass/day facility using Aspen Plus®. Equipment sizing and cost were based on Aspen Economic Evaluation® software. The results indicate that monosaccharide production capacity could reach 338 metric tons/da...
