چکیده
The exploration of cucumber waste as a potential biorefinery feedstock is reported. Initially, extractives (essential oils) were isolated from via vacuum microwave hydro-distillation (VMHD). yield and quality the extractive compared with respect to traditional (HD). essential oils obtained over range power (500, 750, 1000 W) pressures (100, 200, 300 mbar). highest (0.49 wt %) was at irradiation 500 W mbar. VMHD much quicker more energy-efficient than HD. Within context zero-waste biorefinery, extractive-free residues solid two different extraction methods characterized by ATR-IR, 13C solid-state NMR spectroscopy, SEM, TGA, CHN elemental analysis. resultant are cellulosic-rich, no significant changes observed HD treatment. results indicated that utilization these can provide an efficient, inexpensive, environment-friendly platform for production cellulosic materials.

The material needs from our society are reaching the crisis point, as the demand for resources will soon exceed the capacity of the present fossil resource based infrastructure [1]. Currently, fossil-based energy resources, such as petroleum, coal, and natural gas, are responsible for about three quarters of the primary energy consumption in our world. While decreasing crude-oil reserves, enhan...
متن کاملOrganic waste as a sustainable feedstock for platform chemicals
Biorefineries have been established since the 1980s for biofuel production, and there has been a switch lately from first to second generation feedstocks in order to avoid the food versus fuel dilemma. To a lesser extent, many opportunities have been investigated for producing chemicals from biomass using by-products of the present biorefineries, simple waste streams. Current facilities apply i...
متن کاملPredicting the higher heating values of waste frying oils as potential biodiesel feedstock
In the literature, there are several empirical models to estimate the higher heating values of vegetable oils and biodiesel fuels. In this study, five of these models found in the literature were used to estimate the higher heating value of waste frying oils. When some models are used to estimate HHVs of waste frying oils, the relative errors were found up to 5% compared to the values obtained ...

As crude oil price reach a new high, the need for developing alternate fuels has become acute. Alternate fuels should be economically attractive in order to compete with currently used fossil fuels. In this work, biodiesel (ethyl ester) was prepared from waste cooking oil collected from a local restaurant in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Ethyl alcohol with sodium hydroxide as a catalyst was use...
متن کاملThe global potential for Agave as a biofuel feedstock
Large areas of the tropics and subtropics are too arid or degraded to support food crops, but Agave species may be suitable for biofuel production in these regions. We review the potential of Agave species as biofuel feedstocks in the context of ecophysiology, agronomy, and land availability for this genus globally. Reported dry biomass yields of Agave spp., when annualized, range from o1 to 34...
