Biorefinery model for the production of biofuels and bioproducts from lignocellulosic biomass
Vela-García N., (Corresponding) Bolonio D., J. Chuck C., García-Martínez M.
Topic:
Environmental biotechnology and bioenergy
This work studies advanced biofuel and biomaterials production using lignocellulosic biomass from poplar crops. In this sense, lignocellulosic biomass transformation into biojet fuel, bioLPG, green diesel and High-Density Polyethylene (HPDE) was studied through an exhaustive evaluation, including a...Read more
Black Carbon characterization with Raman spectroscopy and machine learning techniques: first results for urban and rural area
(Corresponding) Drudi L., Giardino M., Janner D., Pognant F., Matera F., Sacco M., Bellopede R.
Topic:
Air pollution
Among the chemical substances of Particulate Matter (PM), there is a considerable quantity of black carbon (BC), which is linked to adverse public health effects and climate change. This study aims to develop an innovative method for the source apportionment of BC inside the PM, using Raman...Read more

Biogas Desulfurization by Pelletized Biomass Ash in a Fixed Bed Arrangement
(Corresponding) Lapp F., Brück F., Liebich T., Lang M., Theilen U., Weigand H.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The removal of H2S is a prerequisite to the energetic valorization of biogas in combined heat and power (CHP) plants. Conventionally, the final step in desul-furization involves filtration over granular activated carbon (GAC). Rising market prices for GAC have fostered research on alternative...Read more

UTILIZATION OF AGRICULTURAL AND URBAN PLASTIC WASTE REVIEW: INTRODUCTION TO PYROLISIS AND HYDROCARBON REFORMATION
KOUMPAKIS D., (Corresponding) VLACHOKOSTAS C.
Topic:
Waste-to-energy
Agricultural and urban waste consist of large quantities of biomass and petroleum originated waste. These two categories are rich in hydrocarbons which can be utilized again after their first life cycle. Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process in which solid hydrocarbons decompose in conditions of...Read more

Comparative analysis of two microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association growth in papermill effluent enriched through food waste digestate
Talapatra K., (Corresponding) Ghosh U.
Topic:
Wastewater treatment
New treatment methods are needed to better recycle waste towards the circular economy. Microalgae can be used as an asset to treat effluent and simultaneously produce biofuel. This paper aims to evaluate the growth of microalgae-bacterial symbiotic association in papermill effluent enriched through...Read more
Keywords:
Algal biomass, Microalgae-Bacterial Consortium, Pulp and paper mill effluent, Abbreviations – PPE- Paper Mill Effluent, COD- Chemical oxygen demand, TDN- Total dissolved nitrogen, TDP- Total dissolved phosphorus
Utilization of alkaline converted ash blends from lignite and biomass combustion for carbon capture
(Corresponding) Boycheva S., Dimitrov M., Zabov E., Winter F., Popova M.
Topic:
Gas emissions control and utilization
The replacement of fossil fuels by renewable biofuels is one of the ways to limit climate change and improve the quality of the atmospheric air. For existing solid fuel combustion plants, a partial replacement of coal with biomass from wood or agriculture waste is applied. In this paper the effect...Read more
