Development of briquettes suitable for energy generation from residue of sorghum stalk and groundnut husk

Materials for Renewable and Sustainable Energy, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 14(2)

Published: May 24, 2025

Abstract Fossil fuels dominate the world's energy consumption, including transportation, chemicals, and materials generation. Conversely, using conventional energies has resulted in massive environmental damage climate change. This study looks into developing briquettes from sorghum stalks groundnut husks utilizing cow dung as a binder for fuel production low-pressure compaction method, an important renewable source. The were labeled with compositions (5–25%), ratios (75–95%), particle sizes ranging 1 to 3 mm. raw collected cleaned, then sun-dried, followed by carbonized ground mortar grinder. Design of Expert (DOE) software, Excel, analysis variance (ANOVA) used perform numerical graphical data analyses. After briquetting, proximate properties moisture content 3.16%, fixed carbon 13.04%, volatile matter 80.20%, ash 3.6%. briquette had 51.56% carbon, 6.302% hydrogen, 0.0042% nitrogen, 42.134% oxygen, 0.00093% sulfur. calorific value mixed varies 20.08 24.36 MJ/kg. maximum was achieved size mm 25% content, minimal preferred. According analysis, created smokeless, low Ash high Calorific burning above 17 MJ/kg industrial driving 13 household usage. result standardization on diet revealed that grain-fed offered higher 20 MJ/kg, while shatter resistance 90% recorded grass straw fed, which outlines importance efficiency binder. Developing these biomasses can increase job prospects, decrease greenhouse gas emissions, improve waste management. Graphical

Removal of Chromium from Textile Wastewater Utilizing Corncob Activated Carbon: The Case of MAA Garment

Research Square (Research Square), Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: March 26, 2025

The increasing industrial use of chromium, particularly in the textile sector, presents significant environmental challenges due to improper disposal chromium-laden wastewater. This study explores potential corncob-derived activated carbon as an effective adsorbent for removing hexavalent chromium (Cr (VI)) from wastewater generated by MAA Garment Textile Factory Mekelle, Ethiopia. Corncobs were collected nearby agricultural fields Quiha, Mekelle. They then crushed using electric grinder a particle size less than 100 mesh, followed carbonization furnace at temperature 500 ℃. A comprehensive analysis corncob revealed moisture content 7.95%, volatile matter 75.24%, and elemental composition 51.21% carbon, 5.49% hydrogen, 0.3% nitrogen, 43% oxygen. functional groups chemically with potassium hydroxide, analyzed FTIR spectroscopy. Experimental results demonstrated remarkable removal efficiency 99.45% within 75 minutes pH 6.5 dosage 0.175 grams, equilibrium adsorption capacity 7.67 mg/g. characteristics effectively modeled Langmuir isotherm, indicating maximum 515.5 mg/g under optimal conditions, both pseudo-second-order kinetics model (R² = 0.999) accurately describing process. research underscores feasibility utilizing waste recovery, contributing management resource conservation while promoting sustainable practices Ethiopia beyond.
