Life Cycle Assessment of Biomass Pyrolysis

Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of Greywater Treatment Using ZnCl2 Impregnated Activated Carbon and Electrocoagulation Processes: A Comparative Study

“…Burning of biomass for the production of electricity also releases various VOCs into the atmosphere, and the presence of trace metals like barium, copper, and nickel in ash, which are generally disposed of in soil, and the leaching of manganese from ash to water bodies may be responsible for the increase in the values of POCP, FAETP, HTP, MAETP, and TETP, as shown in Figure . The lower ADPF, GWP, GWPEBC, and ODP might be due to the renewable nature of biomass …”

“…Further, the release of HCl into the atmosphere as gas will undergo wet and dry deposition, which will be readily incorporated into cloud, rain, and fogwater, forming the component of acid rain and affecting the environmental indicators . The pyrolysis step requires 14.4 MJ of electricity to burn 8 kg of the precursor material, which is calculated based on the reported literature . The emission of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 and CH 4 from the pyrolysis process may degrade the environmental parameters.…”

“…21 The pyrolysis step requires 14.4 MJ of electricity to burn 8 kg of the precursor material, which is calculated based on the reported literature. 22 The emission of greenhouse gases such as CO 2 and CH 4 from the pyrolysis process may degrade the environmental parameters. ADPF, AP, EP, GWP, HTP, MEATP, POP, and TETP are the significantly affected environmental indicators during the pyrolysis of SD.…”

“…The lower ADPF, GWP, GWPEBC, and ODP might be due to the renewable nature of biomass. 22 Natural gas is the cleanest fossil fuel used to generate electricity, and it plays a vital role in improving the environment by reducing air pollution and greenhouse gas. 29,30 The present study shows the impact of electricity from natural gas, which is considerably higher on ADPF, GWP, and GWPEBC due to the depletion of nonrenewable resources.…”

Materials, fuels, upgrading, economy, and life cycle assessment of the pyrolysis of algal and lignocellulosic biomass: a review

“…Additionally, using various feedstocks and process conditions can significantly affect the properties of the final products and their potential applications (Gahane et al 2022;Mukherjee et al 2022). The reaction mechanisms of biomass pyrolysis include main and subsequent steps, such as dehydration, devolatilization, decomposition, cracking, and polymerization (Al-Rumaihi et al 2022;Mukherjee et al 2022;Makavana et al 2020).…”
