“…However, a large quantity of olive mill solid residue remains without actual application because only small amounts are used as natural fertilizers, combustible biomass and additives in animal feeding (Pagnanelli, Mainelli, Vegliò, & Toro, 2003). Many researchers have also studied the use of olive pomace in direct combustion (Abu-Qudais, 1996;Khraisha, Hamdan, & Qalalweh, 1999) and in the production of chemical compounds (Montané, Salvadó, Torras, & Farriol, 2002), as animal feed or soil conditioner (Mellouli, Hartmann, Gabriels, & Cornelis, 1998), and activated carbon (Baçaoui et al, 2001). This solid waste is of heterogeneous nature and can be found along with many chemical compounds, such as alkaline (potassium) and alkaline-earth (calcium and magnesium metals), sugars and polyphenols, which come from the vegetation water (Sánchez Moral & Ruiz Méndez, 2006).…”

“…These calculated values together with the measured values of GCV, given in Table 11, were inserted in Equations (12) and (13) to find the values of MAE and MBE associated with the predictions of Equation (14). The values were found to be 5.57% and −2.98% for MAE and MBE, respectively.…”

In an attempt to provide a set of specifications for the use and trade of the olive pomace in Jordan, several samples of the crude and laboratory-prepared exhausted (oil-free) olive pomace have been subjected to a thorough thermochemical characterization. Such characterization included determination of fat content by using n-hexane and Soxhlet extractor, ultimate and proximate analyses obtained by using an elemental analyzer and a thermogravimetric procedure, respectively, gross and net calorific values obtained by using adiabatic oxygen bomb calorimetry, mineral content (ash), and analysis of the pyrolysis thermograms in terms of specified temperatures and residual masses associated with such temperatures as obtained under an inert atmosphere of nitrogen gas at a flow rate of 100 ml per min and a heating rate of 20˚C per min from room temperature up to 600˚C. The properties of both the crude and the exhausted olive pomace were compared. The gross calorific values and the results of the ultimate analyses for the two pomace types were found to correlate very well as indicated by the use of a literature correlation formula usually used for estimating the gross calorific value of a fuel when its ultimate analysis is known. Other literature correlation formulas used for estimating the gross calorific value from the proximate analysis data were also used to check the adequacy of our procedure for getting the proximate analysis from the thermogravimetric pyrolysis thermograms.

This paper considers the process of selecting a appropriate olive mill solid waste management option in Jordan. Six alternatives were found to be possible options for olive mill solid waste management. Those alternatives are: animal feed, energy recovery, extraction of useful materials, co-combustion, fertilizers, and disposal without treatment. Prioritization of these six alternatives was performed through the analytical hierarchy process. Management options were prioritized based on three criteria: environmental effects, economical benefits, and the technology involved. Priorities given to each of criteria were evaluated through soliciting experts and olive mills owners opinions. Analytical hierarchy process model results revealed that co-combustion option is most favorable followed by the animal feed alternative and lease favorable is disposal without treatment. Sensitivity of the proposed analytical hierarchy process model was addressed as the priorities may change. Model sensitivity analysis showed that our model decision is robust to moderate changes in priorities. Unless the environmental criteria given a very high priority, co-combustion remains as the most favorable management option.
