“…The power capacity of the MW and RF plasmas can reach several kilowatts (3-5 kW, in some cases up to 10 kW) [51,53], whereas that of the DC arc plasma from hundreds of kilowatts up to several megawatts. This makes the DC arc plasma closer to industrial scale applications, as well as its reliability in operation.…”

Annually, the olive oil industry generates a significant amount of by-products, such as olive pomace, olive husks, tree prunings, leaves, pits, and branches. Therefore, the recovery of these residues has become a major challenge in Mediterranean countries. The utilization of olive industry residues has received much attention in recent years, especially for energy purposes. Accordingly, this primary experimental study aims at investigating the potential of olive biomass waste for energy recovery in terms of synthesis gas (or syngas) production using the thermal arc plasma gasification method. The olive charcoal made from the exhausted olive solid waste (olive pomace) was chosen as a reference material for primary experiments with known composition from the performed proximate and ultimate analysis. The experiments were carried out at various operational parameters: raw biomass and water vapour flow rates and the plasma generator power. The producer gas involved principally CO, H 2 , and CO 2 with the highest concentrations of 41.17%, 13.06%, and 13.48%, respectively. The produced synthesis gas has a lower heating value of 6.09 MJ/nm 3 at the H 2 O/C ratio of 3.15 and the plasma torch had a power of 52.2 kW.

“…A number of potential applications of microwave energy in coal treatment have been investigated and verified, including desulphurisation [24,25] and demineralization [26], increased grindability [27][28][29][30], improved floatability [31], rapid coke making [32], coal pyrolysis [33], coal conversion to heavy hydrocarbons [34] and production of synthetic gas [35,36].…”
