“…In previous work, the chemical nature of the bio-oils obtained from pyrolysis of a lignocellulosic residue (sunflower seed hulls) has been analyzed (Casoni et al, 2015). The comparison between the bio-oil obtained from the seed hulls and the one obtained from Rhizoclonium sp.…”

“…According to results and previous studies, the stalks can be used as feedstock for bioethanol production [18], for biogas production [19], and for biomaterials production [20]. Sunflower seed hulls can be employed by cofiring for energy production [21] or for obtaining bio-oil [22].…”

Experimental Study to Support Local Sunflower Oil Chains: Production of Cold Pressed Oil in Central Italy

et al. 2019

Sunflower is one of the most important oilseed crops cultivated in the world for different purposes. In Italy, the production is mostly located in the central area, representing 70% of Italian production. The market demand for sunflower oil is higher than the national production. There is an increasing request for cold pressed sunflower oil for food application. The success of this activity is linked to a correct setting up and management of the production and supply chain with a valorization of products and by-products. To this aim, information is needed, and this paper is focused on the cultivation of sunflower in central Italy using suitable hybrids, as well as on the study of the cold extraction performance of the sunflower seed produced and the quality of by-products and residues. Results indicate that, on average, a range of about 1.0-1.5 t ha −1 of cold pressed oil and different amounts of by-products can be obtained. According to a proposed scenario, 30 ha cultivated with sunflower are needed to create a complete supply chain within the farm, avoiding many additional passages and maintaining all the value for the farmer. It is important to use suitable hybrids for obtaining good yield, but also the cold extraction performances are important because they also affect the quality of by-products and residues that can be valorized themselves to improve sustainability.

“…The use of sunflower seed husks as a supplementary fuel in the iron ore sintering process [19], for the removal of dye from the textile industry's wastewater effluent [20], or for obtaining bio-oils [21], has also been studied. Furthermore, the utilization of residual-biomass generated in distilleries and breweries for the production of added-value products has been reviewed [22].…”

Biomass-energy processes are those used to obtain energy by the burning or biochemical converting of any organic matter to be used for fuel. In recent years, some materials used as a source for biomass energy have been obtained from the discards of agricultural activities. These include wood, sawdust, corn, sugarcane and rice husks, among others. The processes for converting biomass into energy are numerous. The most commonly used are combustion, co-firing process and pyrolysis. The residual endproducts obtained from these processes are highly dependent on the process conditions, especially temperature, pressure and atmosphere. Char and ashes are the most commonly obtained materials. The objective of this work is to analyse the feasibility of reusing these discards of biomass-energy processes, as additions in clay mixtures for the production of ceramic materials for civil construction. For this purpose, charcoal and ashes obtained from various biomasses have been characterized by SEM, EDS, DTA-TGA, XRD, etc. These results, and the determination of the theoretical sintering temperatures by the use of ternary diagrams, lead to the establishment of the feasibility of using these discards in current ceramic industry processes. Charcoal and ashes from sunflower husks, brewery waste and pine sawdust are the materials studied.
