Fast pyrolysis of agroindustrial wastes blends: Hydrocarbon production enhancement
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
Fast pyrolysis of waste from agroindustry may be an alternative choice for sustainable use of enhanced biofuels. Plastics are one option for improving the hydrogen to carbon efficiency ratio (H/Ceff) of biomass feedstock. ...
Olive pomace versus natural gas for methanol production: a life cycle assessment
(Springer, 2021-02)
Increasing demand for methanol production and global competition for the use of natural resources are key issues in finding new and environmentally routes for methanol production. In this work, life cycle assessment was ...
Obtaining activated biochar from olive stone using a bench scale high-pressure thermobalance
(Elsevier, 2021-08)
A low cost-biomass, olive stone, was used as a carbon precursor to synthesize activated biochar. Experiments were carried by single step activation for two agents (steam and CO2) using a bench scale high-pressure thermobalance. ...
Life cycle assessment of electricity generation from combustion and gasification of biomass in Mexico
(Elsevier, 2021-07)
One measure to mitigate some of the nowadays environmental problems is the generation of products from renewable resources. In this context, this study's objective is to evaluate the environmental impacts associated with ...
Catalytic effect of alkali and alkaline earth metals on fast pyrolysis pre-treatment of agricultural waste
(SCI, 2021-06)
El efecto catalítico de los componentes minerales (K, Ca, Mg y Na), previo tratamiento por lixiviación con agua y adición de NaCl, se evaluó en pirólisis rápida con la biomasa de cuatro tipos de residuos agrícolas (orujo ...

Fast pyrolysis of waste from agroindustry may be an alternative choice for sustainable use of enhanced biofuels. Plastics are one option for improving the hydrogen to carbon efficiency ratio (H/Ceff) of biomass feedstock. ...
Simulation of biomass gasification in bubbling fluidized bed reactor using aspen plus
(Elsevier, 2021-05-01)
The direct (with air) gasification process of biomass in bubbling fluidized bed reactor was simulated using Aspen Plus®. The reactor was divided in three parts: the pyrolysis zone, combustion zone and reduction zone. The ...
Game-Based Learning and Just-in-Time Teaching to Address Misconceptions and Improve Safety and Learning in Laboratory Activities
(ACS Publications, 2021-09-14)
Serious game-based learning coupled with just-in-time teaching strategies was applied by offering six different questionnaires to evaluate student knowledge about the safety issues and theoretical concepts and protocols ...
Long-Term Performance of Nanomodified Coated Concrete Structures under Hostile Marine Climate Conditions
(MDPI, 2021-03-29)
Epoxy resin coatings are commonly used to protect concrete structures due to their excellent chemical corrosion resistance and strong adhesion capacity. However, these coatings are susceptible to damage by surface abrasion ...
Olive Waste Valorization Through TGA-MS Gasification: A Diatomaceous Earth Effect
(American Chemical Society, 2021-05)
The effect of diatomaceous earth on gasification of olive pomace and olive stone was studied by thermogravimetric analysis with mass spectrometry (TGA-MS). Additionally, gas emissions, the H2/CO ratio, and gasification ...
