Baobab (Adansonia digitata) is a promising bio-resource distributed across Africa. A variety of biofuels such as biodiesel, bioethanol, bio-oil and biogas can be prepared from feedstock derived baobab. In this vein, different parts baobab plant, for instance oil, fruit shells, seed cakes utilized biofuel synthesis. study, novozyme-435 (CAL-B) was used biocatalyst biodiesel production. Oil to co...

In particular, a straw-based Ablative Fast Pyrolysis (AFP) oil was upgraded via hydrotreatment (HDT) in order to be used as blending component with fossil-based intermediates. The raw pyrolysis is characterized by H/C = 0.14, O/C 0.58 and C 57.73 wt%, while the HDT has 0.016 85.85 wt%. Based on density, viscosity composition, association typical refinery, possible petroleum refinery entry point...

Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is an advanced tool to explore the interaction mechanism between aged bitumen and rejuvenators at nanoscale. However, general MD molecular structures of led lower quantify inaccuracy outputs. This study aims developing more realistic models represent generic for recycling. Four types (bio-oil, engine-oil, naphthenic-oil, aromatic-oil) are characterized in term...

Although liquid products derived from the pyrolysis of biomass are promising for production petroleum-like hydrocarbon fuels, catalytic burden hydrodeoxygenation must be reduced to achieve feasible upgrading processes. Herein, mild hydrotreating an acid-rich oil (bio-oil) with unusually high total acid number (588 mg KOH/g bio-oil) was performed stabilize low-quality bio-oil. Ru-added TiO2-supp...

The valorisation of lignin is being increasingly recognised to improve the economics pulp and paper making mills. In present study, an integrated lignin–glycerol strategy introduced with overarching aim for enhancing process value chains. LignoBoost kraft was subjected base-catalysed depolymerisation using glycerol as a co-solvent. generated bio-oil used renewable additive biodiesel its oxygen ...

Present study was conducted to explore the herbicidal effect of volatile essential oil of Mentha longifolia (L.) L. and Chenopodium ambrosioides L. against Avena fatua L. weed. A significant effect of essential oil was observed on early seedling growth, chlorophyll content and cellular respiration over a concentration range of 0.01 – 0.25 mg/ml as compared to control ones. More inhibition was o...

Development of local technologies is crucial to the sustainable energy agenda in resource-limited countries and world. Strengthening green promoting utilization will reduce carbon emissions that could be generated during transportation delivery products from one country another. In this paper we developed bio-oil/diesel blends using a low-tech pyrolysis system designed for smallholder farmers d...

Indonesia is the world's largest palm oil producer with a land area of 14.3 million as 2019. With this area, it will produce biomass in form replanted stems, midribs, empty bunches (TKKS), shells and fruit fibers. Biomass waste, including solid has potential to be used raw material for renewable energy or bioenergy. This study aims utilize plantation waste into bio briquettes. The materials wer...
