“…However, few works have been done on the co-pelletization of biomass with wastes [24][25][26][27]. Furthermore, only a handful of them have been on the co-pelletization of biomass with hydrothermally treated wastes [28,29]. Thus, in this study, efforts were made to produce fuel pellets by co-pelletizing hydrothermally treated wastes with biomass.…”

Thirteen types of fuel pellets were prepared from hydrothermally treated hospital solid waste, hydrothermally treated rice straw, pyrolytic plastic waste residue, rice straw, and Sakhalin fir residue using a flat die pellet machine. Different pellet properties such as pellet density, pellet durability, aspect ratio, physicochemical characteristics, and gross calorific value (GCV) were evaluated as well as compared concerning the European standard specification for residential/commercial densified fuels. In addition, the quality of pellets was compared with coal. The results showed that the pellets made only with hydrothermally treated hospital solid waste, hydrothermally treated rice straw, pyrolytic plastic waste residue, and rice straw failed to meet few individual criteria (<3 wt% ash content, <10 wt% moisture content, <0.03 wt% chlorine content, >96.5 wt% pellet durability, and >600 kg/m3 pellet density) of the European standard specifications. However, most of the mixed fuel pellets satisfied the requirement of pellet properties according to the European standard specification. In particular, up to 16.70 wt% hydrothermally treated rice straw, 1.50 wt% hydrothermally treated hospital solid waste, and 4.76 wt% of pyrolytic plastic waste residue can be blended with Shakhalin fir residue to produce low-chlorine fuel pellets. The gross calorific value of pellets made from the mixture of hydrothermally treated wastes and pyrolytic plastic waste residue (around 22 MJ/kg) showed similar results to that of coal. In the case of mixed pellets, the presence of these hydrothermally treated wastes and pyrolytic plastic waste residue valorized the fuel pellet quality. The main outcome of this study was the production of low chlorine biomass fuel pellets of high gross calorific values blended with hydrothermally treated wastes and pyrolytic waste residues, which opens a new door for utilizing waste in a better way, especially hospital solid waste.

“…These data obtained with different types of mill and from various biomasses might guide the choice of starting feedstock and processing technologies to better exploit biomass potential according to the targeted applications as petrol replacers. The data can benefit to scientists in the sectors of plant and wood products valorization, bio-based energy vectors [7] , bio-sourced chemicals [8] and materials [9] . Companies manufacturing plant and wood based powders for food/non-food applications and mill suppliers may be interested.…”

Lignocellulosic biomass represents a readily available reservoir of functional elements that can be an alternative to fossil resources for energy, chemicals and materials production. However, comminution of lignocellulosic biomass into fine particles is required to reveal its functionalities, improve its reactivity and allow practical implementation in the downstream processing steps (carrying, dosage, mixing, formulation, shaping…). The sources of lignocellulosics are diverse, with two main families, being agricultural and forest by-products. Due to plant specificity and natural variability, the itineraries of particle size reduction by dry processing, the behavior upon milling and therefore the characteristics of resulting powders can deeply vary according to various raw biomasses [ [1] , [2] ]. This data article contains milling itineraries and granulometric properties of the resulting powders obtained from a collection of by-products from crops (flax fibers, hemp core, rice husk, wheat straw) and woods (pine wood pellets, pine bark, pine sawdust, Douglas shavings, chestnut tree sawdust) representative of currently used lignocellulosic biomass. Samples provided in the form of large pieces (hemp core, pine bark, Douglas shavings) were successively milled using different mills to progressively reduce the matter into coarse, intermediate and finally fine powders. The other samples, supplied as sufficiently small format, were directly processed in the fine powder mill. The machine characteristics and their operating parameters were recorded. The granulometric properties of the powders were analyzed with a laser granulometer and the main indicators related to the particle size distribution (PSD) are presented: (i) d10, d50 (or median diameter) and d90 which are the 10th, 50th and 90th percentiles of the cumulative volume distribution; (ii) the span, which evaluates the width of the particle size distribution; (iii) the calculated specific surface area of the powders which represents the sum of total surface exhibited by the particles per unit of gram and for some powders. The whole particle size distribution of a subset of produced powder samples are also provided for different milling times to illustrate the kinetics of particle size reduction. These data are stored in INRAE public repository and have been structured using BIOREFINERY ontology [3] . These data are also replicated in atWeb data warehouse providing additional query tools [ [3] , [4] ].

“…Municipal solid waste (MSW) is one of the renewable sources of energy in the traditional way. MSW points to materials discarded in urban areas which are collected and disposed of by the municipalities and it is counted a source of biomass due to it is a significant fraction of waste materials like leather, food waste, wood, and yard trimmings, and paper [24,25]. Biogas is one of the efficient energy sources due to  ISSN: 2088-8708 Int J Elec & Comp Eng, Vol.…”

In several developing countries, the electricity crisis obstructs both socio-economic and technological sustainable evolution. Also, it leads to reducing job availability due to shut down several industries or relocate to neighbouring countries to such an issue. A Najaf City is an important holy and tourist city in the middle of Iraq country. Indeed, waste management in An Najaf City needs to be reconsidered to be used as an energy source. In this article, we investigated and listed the waste quantity which produced recently (one year) respect to waste types and types of content. Data collected from the waste products for one year and are used as a key factor to study the feasibility of generating electrical energy from collected MSWs. The proposed model was simulated and tested respect to cost analysis factor of the suggested power plant by Homer pro simulation software. Results were very encouraging and competitive to the current energy production cost based on the production cost of the Kwh prospective among the conventional methods in Iraq. The proposed scenario provide proper and secure waste proposal technique with low-cost.
