“…The results of the sensitivity analysis of the fast pyrolysis of banana pseudo-stem conducted by Abdullah et al [23] were used to validate this study. Of the studies reporting the pyrolysis of banana wastes [22][23][24][25][26], theirs alone gave a report of temperature sensitivity. Some discrepancies with fast pyrolysis results will be present due to differences in the systems.…”

“…Banana waste has been pyrolysed for hydrogen production [21] and char production [22]. There are also other studies where banana wastes such as pseudo-stem [23,24], leaves [16,17,24] and peel have been pyrolysed. Fernandes et al [17] pyrolysed banana leaves and pseudostem at 500 °C for 60 min in a slow pyrolysis batch reactor.…”

Pyrolysis has been established as a good technique of recovering energy from biomass. In this study, a thermodynamic model was developed on ASPEN Plus V8.8 to study the temperature sensitivity and yield of products from the pyrolysis of different banana wastes. The wastes considered were banana peels, pseudo-stem and leaves. The model was validated with experimental results for pseudo-stem pyrolysis. From comparison, the pseudo-stem was observed to give a slightly higher yield of gas compared to the other residues. Thermodynamic predictions of gas yield are similar for the different feedstock at low temperatures but varying at higher temperatures with the leaves producing less. Furthermore, the yield of oil from leaves is less and that of char is higher than for the other residues. The fluid phase products (bio-oil and syn-gas) were higher for pseudo-stem than for the other residues due to greater proportion of volatile matter from the proximate analysis. The suitability of banana pseudo-stem for bio-oil production via pyrolysis is established in comparison with the other residues studied. The leaves and peel are more suitable for low-temperature thermochemical processing for bio-char production.

“…-1 the availability and large amounts of banana wastes generated in every production cycle, some research has been conducted to take advantage of these residues as an efficient feedstock to obtain pyrolysis products. Abdullah et al used pyrolysis process to convert agricultural residue such as banana waste into biochar, bio-oil ,and gases [10]. Taib et al investigated the fast pyrolysis of banana pseudo-stem determining the optimum pyrolysis temperature and residence time in the range of 470-540 °C.…”

Banana rachis and low-density polyethylene (LDPE) were selected as secondary feedstocks for the study of fast pyrolysis in a free-fall reactor. The experiments were performed at 600 °C for banana rachis and 450 °C for LDPE, based on literature and thermogravimetric analysis. The gaseous products of both feedstocks present similar composition in the C1-C2 compounds, while C3 compounds are only found in LDPE. The liquid products from banana and LDPE correspond to functional groups and shorter hydrocarbons, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analyses of the char showed important morphological changes to spheres in LDPE and structural changes due to thermal decomposition in the biomass. The pyrolysis char has high potential as adsorbent, encapsulation, or catalyst.

“…A lot of wastes/residues are generated from the harvesting and consumption of banana fruits and these includes rotten fruit, rhizome, leaves, pseudostem, peels and empty fruit bunch [12]. These banana wastes possess a huge energy potential as have been revealed by studies [13,14]. These energy content can be exploited by gasi cation.…”

Thermochemical conversion of biomass is a technique used in recovering its energetic content and for the production useful biofuels. A lot of wastes/residues are generated from the harvesting and consumption of banana fruits. This study developed an ASPEN Plus model for the gasification of banana (Musa Spp.) residues pseudo-stem, the peels and the leaves. The model will be used to study the effect of gasification temperature, gasification pressure and air-fuel ratio (AFR) on the selectivity of the chemical species in the product stream. For all three residues, the selectivity of hydrogen increases with temperature with temperature. At the optimum temperature, the hydrogen molar selectivity in the product stream is 56% (900oC), 55% (900oC) and 53% (700oC) for pseudo-stem, peels and leaves respectively. At the optimum atmospheric pressure, the hydrogen molar percentage in the product stream was 48%, 49% and 50% for pseudo-stem, peels and leaves respectively. At the optimum AFR, the hydrogen selectivity in the product stream is 55%, 52% and 46% for pseudo-stem, peels and leaves respectively. All three residues are reasonably good feedstock for the gasification process but the pseudo-stem possesses a marginal advantage over the others.
