A state-of-the-art review on producing engineered biochar from shellfish waste and its application in aquaculture wastewater treatment
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Global production of shellfish aquaculture is steadily increasing owing to the growing market demands for shellfish. The intensification of shellfish aquaculture to maximize production rate has led to increased generation ... -
A state-of-the-art review on spent coffee ground (SCG) pyrolysis for future biorefinery
( Elsevier Ltd , 2022 , Article)Coffee is a globally consumed beverage that produces a substantial amount of valuable organic waste known as spent coffee grounds (SCG). Although SCG is a non-edible biomass, research initiatives focused on valorizing/utilizing ... -
Agricultural applications
( Elsevier , 2023 , Book chapter)The agro-industrial activities related to the three most cultivated palm tree species worldwide namely, oil palm, date palm, and coconut palm generate a large amount of residues during pre- and post-harvest processes. ... -
Biochar production from the pyrolysis of tomato processing residues
( Elsevier , 2022 , Book chapter)The global modern challenges of climate change, natural resources scarcity, waste overproduction, management and processing, etc., need to be examined under the circular economy principles. As such, biochar is considered ... -
Catalytic Fast Pyrolysis of Soybean Straw Biomass for Glycolaldehyde-Rich Bio-oil Production and Subsequent Extraction
( American Chemical Society , 2021 , Article)In this study, soybean straw (SS) as a promising source of glycolaldehyde-rich bio-oil production and extraction was investigated. Proximate and ultimate analysis of SS was performed to examine the feasibility and suitability ... -
Comparative Investigation of the Physicochemical Properties of Chars Produced by Hydrothermal Carbonization, Pyrolysis, and Microwave-Induced Pyrolysis of Food Waste
( MDPI , 2022 , Article)This work presents a comparative study of the physicochemical properties of chars derived by three thermochemical pathways, namely: hydrothermal carbonization, HTC (at 180, 200 and 220 °C), pyrolysis, PY, (at 500, 600 and ... -
Physico-chemical characterization of biochars from solid municipal waste for use in soil amendment
( Elsevier B.V. , 2016 , Article)The fast economic and demographic growth lead to generation of large amounts of solid wastes placing Qatar on top of most nations with a per capita solid waste generation of nearly 2.5 milliontons/year of which 60% is ... -
Prediction of performance and emission characteristics of diesel engine fuelled with waste biomass pyrolysis oil using response surface methodology
( Elsevier Ltd , 2019 , Article)Advanced third generation biofuels like pyrolysis oil generated from waste biomass paves way for a cleaner and sustainable environment. An experimental-cum-statistical analysis was performed with the aim of determining the ... -
Pyrolysis Kinetics of Oil-Palm Solid Waste
( Qatar University , 2005 , Article)Pyrolysis of oil-palm shells, a cheap and abundantly available solid waste from palm oil producing process, was carried out using thermogravimetric analysis. The effect of heating rates (10,15,20 and 25°C/min) on the kinetic ... -
Pyrolysis of Canarium schweinfurthii hard-shell: Thermochemical characterisation and pyrolytic kinetics studies
( Elsevier , 2023 , Article)Canarium schweinfurthii fruit used in food and cosmetics produces waste nuts with a hard shell (hard-shell) and kernel. The hard-shell contained lignin and holocellulose, besides 51.99 wt% carbon, 6.0 wt% hydrogen, 41.68 wt% ... -
Sludge-derived biochars: A review on the influence of synthesis conditions on pollutants removal efficiency from wastewaters
( Elsevier , 2021 , Article)Pyrolysis is a thermochemical process that permits the conversion of biomasses into energy (bio-oil and biogas) and a solid residue called biochar. The generation of biochar from lignocellulosic materials has been, for ... -
Thermocatalytic routes and reactor strategies for valorization of biodiesel-derived glycerol to fuels
( Elsevier , 2022 , Article)Glycerol is an oversupplied commodity from biodiesel production with beneficial properties for the synthesis of versatile utility biochemicals. The functional properties of glycerol with three hydroxyl groups could be ...
