Hydrothermal carbonization of municipal waste streams.

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a novel thermal conversion process that can be used to convert municipal waste streams into sterilized, value-added hydrochar. HTC has been mostly applied and studied on a limited number of feedstocks, ranging from pure substances to slightly more complex biomass such as wood, with an emphasis on nanostructure generation. There has been little work exploring ...

Nanofibrous microspheres via emulsion gelation and carbonization.

Nanofibrous hydrogel microspheres are formed by pH gelation of perylene diimide derivatives in emulsion droplets. These microspheres are freeze-dried and subsequently carbonized to produce discrete N-doped nanofibrous carbon microspheres. The carbon microspheres show high performance as electrode materials for supercapacitors.

Conversion of Municipal Solid Wastes into Biochar through Hydrothermal Carbonization

In this study, the hydrothermal treatment of municipal solid wastes (MSWs) for the production of biochar as a renewable solid fuel was investigated. The properties of surrogate MSWs and mixtures of newspaper and vegetables were greatly improved by hydrothermal treatment and were similar to those of coal-like fuel substances. Hydrothermal treatment increased the calorific value, the fixed carbon...

Characteristics on Carbonization and Steam Activation of Sewage Sludge

A number of methods are presented to treat sewage sludge. However, the sludge treated in each treatment process has a problem of heavy metal elution. Currently, the treatment of sewage sludge through carbonization is highlighted to solve such problem. This study carried out research of optimum carbonization and activation condition and analysis of adsorption characteristics in order to treat se...
