“…Despite this potential, only a few studies have been dedicated to characterizing this biofuel for the purpose of energy conversion [5]. Nevertheless, the value of the utilization of olive pomace as a biofuel is widely recognized [10,11]. Moreover, both OP and OP i can be processed into cylindrical pellets (up to 40 mm length, at standard diameter from 6 to 10 mm, typically 6 mm).…”

Combustion tests and gaseous emissions of olive mill solid wastes pellets (olive pomace (OP), and olive pits (OPi)) were carried out in an updraft counter-current fixed bed reactor. Along the combustion chamber axis and under a constant primary air flow rate, the bed temperatures and the mass loss rate were measured as functions of time. Moreover, the gas mixture components such as O2, organic carbon (Corg), CO, CO2, H2O, H2, SO2, and NOx (NO + NO2) were analyzed and measured. The reaction front positions were determined as well as the ignition rate and the reaction front velocity. We have found that the exhaust gases are emitted in acceptable concentrations compared to the combustion of standard wood pellets reported in the literature (EN 303-5). It is shown that the bed temperature increased from the ambient value to a maximum value ranging from 750 to 1000 °C as previously reported in the literature. The results demonstrate the promise of using olive mill solid waste pellets as an alternative biofuel for heat and/or electricity production.

“…The relevant literature information concerning olive pomace in Jordan has focused on its combustion for energy production [14], combustion performance of diesel fuel and olive pomace slurry [15], an energy source and catalyst for oil shale production of energy [16], physical durability and stability of olive pomace briquettes [17], direct combustion of olive pomace using fluidized bed combustor [18], thermochemical characterization of Jordanian olive pomace [3], and description of the burning behaviour of olive pomace briquettes [4].…”

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.

“…Manufacturing highly porous AC, with high surface areas, from solid wastes is another strategy, because AC has the potential to be used in water purification and environmental cleanup, at an economic scale (Alkhamis and Kablan, 1999a;Kablan and Alkhamis, 1999). Examples of AC production from olive, palm, coconut and others (McKay et al, 1985;Ferro-Garcia et al, 1988;Gonzalez et al, 1994;LaGreage et al, 1994;Al-Khalid, 1995;Al-khalid et al, 1998;Caballero et al, 1997;Alvarez et al, 1998;Bacaoui et al, 1998;Alkhamis and Kablan, 1999b;Guo and Lua, 1999;Zhonghua and Srinivasan, 1999;Al-Asheh and Banat, 2001;Lafi, 2001;Dakiky et al, 2002), are known.…”
