“…The type and particle size of biomass used, the heating rate and the residence times of, for instance, the feedstock and the generated primary pyrolysis vapours, are the major parameters that affect the performance and outcome of the pyrolysis process. The successful optimization of such process parameters determines the quantity, composition and quality of the products of the process [ 41 , 42 ]. There are several reports in the literature on AP pyrolysis ( Table 1 ) [ 9 , 43 , 44 , 45 ].…”

In many countries, apple pomace (AP) is one of the most produced types of agri-food waste (globally, it is produced at a rate of ~4 million tons/year). If not managed properly, such bio-organic waste can cause serious pollution of the natural environment and public health hazards, mainly due to the risk of microbial contamination. This review shows that AP can be successfully reused in different industrial sectors—for example, as a source of energy and bio-materials—according to the idea of sustainable development. The recovered active compounds from AP can be applied as preservatives, antioxidants, anti-corrosion agents, wood protectors or biopolymers. Raw or processed forms of AP can also be considered as feedstocks for various bioenergy applications such as the production of intermediate bioenergy carriers (e.g., biogas and pyrolysis oil), and materials (e.g., biochar and activated carbon). In the future, AP and its active ingredients can be of great use due to their non-toxicity, biodegradability and biocompatibility. Given the increasing mass of produced AP, the commercial applications of AP could have a huge economic impact in the future.

“…The values can be calculated using table 1and 2. The set of equations ( 2)-( 7) can be solved to find out the value of a, b, c, d and e. For finding out the value of constants K1 and K2, equation (11) at specific temperature of reactions can be utilized. The thermodynamic properties can be obtained from [35].…”

“…The end application selected by most of the researchers are the internal combustion engine set [10]. Having the higher energy per gram (i.e., 142 kJ/g), better transportation ability, environmentally supportive as it doesn't release hydrocarbon, oxides of carbons and nitrogen, Hydrogen proves its importance in the energy field [11]. Clean hydrogen energy can be generated via the thermochemical conversion route, usually by gasification of biomasses having high organic content.…”

Present study concerns with the production of H2 rich product gas by thermochemical energy conversion having biomass gasification as a route for the four biomasses i.e., Kasai Saw Dust, Lemon Grass, Wheat Straw and Pigeon Pea Seed Coat. The biomasses are from the family of woody biomass, grasses, agricultural waste and food process industry wastes. Waste engine oil as an additive is used, which also acts as a binder. Air gasification and Air-steam gasification is applied and compared for product gas composition, hydrogen yield and other performance parameters like lower heating value, energy yield. Product gas constituents, hydrogen production is examined with different steam to biomass ratio (S/B ratio) and equivalence ratio. The equivalence ratio varies from 0.20-0.40 and the steam to biomass ratio varies between 0-4. The waster engine oil is mixed with the biomasses with different percentage of 5 and 10 wt%. For enhancement of feedstock quality palletization process is applied. The H2 yield is greatly affected by the equivalence ratio. Results show maximum H2 production and higher calorific value of product gas at an air to fuel of 0.26 for all the biomass pallets. Also, the S/B ratio observed as important aspect for hydrogen enrichment. Hydrogen yield is maximum at 2.4 steam to biomass ratio. This study considers the rarely studied Indian biomasses with waste engine oil as an additive for hydrogen-rich product gas production and will be beneficial for small scale hydrogen-rich syngas production considering the central Indian region originated biomasses. Statement of Novelty (SON):Research work belongs to eco-friendly use of rarely studied Indian biomass pallets. Equivalence air to fuel ratio (E/R ratio), steam to biomass ratio (S/B ratio) and waste engine oil as additive have been considered to upgrade H2 content and Calorific Value (CV) of the product gas. Novelty of work include use of waste engine oil as additive to make biomass pallets.

A Bifunctional Ruthenium Catalyst for Effective Renewable Hydrogen Production from Biomass-Derived Sorbitol

et al. 2023

In the present worldwide situation, the transition to a more sustainable hydrogen economy from the prevailing energy infrastructure is gaining great attention. Herein, for hydrogen production from biomass-derived sorbitol, we employed a bifunctional NNN−Ru system bearing protic arms in a ligand scaffold liable for a metal−ligand cooperativity pathway as well as a secondary-coordination-sphere hydrogen-bonding interaction for the appropriate substrate orientation at the active center. A maximum turnover number of 35359 was achieved during sorbitol reforming for hydrogen production. The catalyst was found to remain active for up to seven runs with an efficient catalytic activity. A series of NMR studies were performed that revealed the active participation of functionalized ligands during catalysis.
