New Strategies for Sustainable Biofuel Production: Pyrolytic Poly-Generation of Biomass

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(5), P. 1945 - 1945

Published: Feb. 25, 2025

Biomass serves as a promising renewable and sustainable feedstock for energy production through thermochemical conversion. It can be transformed into biofuels by means of pyrolysis. Among these methods, the pyrolytic poly-generation biomass, novel biomass thermal conversion technology, concurrently produce three valuable products, namely biochar, bio-oil, combustible gas, without generating any byproducts. In contrast, conventional processes, such carbonization liquefaction gasification syngas, combustion heat, only yield single have limited efficiency, give rise to Clearly, holds significant advantages over processes. Nevertheless, process its products are remarkably influenced numerous factors, including raw properties, pretreatment operating parameters, catalysts. This article reviews processing parameters technology poly-generation, also explores future research areas, with aim identifying gaps promoting industrial implementation.

Evaluation of Different Concentrations of Graphene on the Structural and Optical Properties of Carboxymethyl Cellulose Sodium

Polymers, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 17(3), P. 391 - 391

Published: Jan. 31, 2025

Developing sustainable and green packaging products that protect foods preserve their unique properties from UV radiation, which causes photochemical damage, is one of the extensive challenges in food-packaging industry. Accordingly, carboxymethyl cellulose sodium (CMC)/graphene (G) nanocomposites contained different weight percentages were prepared by a mechanical milling method. The influence G on chemical composition optical studied techniques. SEM FT-IR analyses confirmed interaction between CMC G. XRD spectrum showed crystallite size decreased with addition. findings changing concentration modified CMC's properties. transmittance to 52%, 49%, 57% UV-C (200-280), UV-B (280-320 nm), UV-A (320-400) regions, respectively, addition 2 wt.% Moreover, band gap 4.80 eV, while Urbach energy increased 0.34 0.94 eV as content increased. density functional theory (DFT) assumption was followed establish electronic vibrational CMC/G model. theoretically determined IR experimental spectra good agreement. obtained results show these are candidates for food packaging.
