Enhancing Fuel Properties and Energy Performance with Co-Hydrothermal Carbonization of Coffee Waste and Swine Manure

Research Square (Research Square), Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Апрель 28, 2025

This study evaluates the fuel properties and energy performance of hydrochar produced through co-hydrothermal carbonization (Co-HTC) swine manure (SM) coffee waste (CW). The effects reaction temperature (160°C, 200°C, 240°C) mixing ratio (SM:CW = 1:1, 3:1, 5:1) on combustion characteristics, densification (EDR), yield (EY) were analyzed. results indicate that Co-HTC effectively enhances quality by leveraging synergistic interactions between SM CW. At 240°C a 1:1 ratio, exhibited characteristic index (S) 9.1 × 10⁻⁹ %²/min²·°C³, an EDR 1.39, EY 57%, demonstrating superior performance. high lignin content in CW promoted fixed carbon retention, while elevated nitrogen contributed to potential agricultural applications. Additionally, reduced O/C H/C atomic ratios, resulting enhanced density. Despite increase ash with higher values remained across all conditions, maximum 61.8% at 5:1 suggesting retention was not significantly hindered. These findings confirm is viable approach converting organic into high-energy-density solid fuel, offering sustainable solution for bioenergy production valorization.
