In recent decades, massive exploitation of fossil fuels caused a growing demand for the production energies from renewable sources. Hydrochar obtained waste biomass via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) possesses good potentials as biofuel. Therefore, we performed HTC corn cob, paulownia leaves, and olive pomace at different temperatures (180, 220, 260oC). The main goal this study was to compara...

Abstract Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) reacts with biomass in water at a high temperature and pressure to produce hydrochar higher heating value (HHV) lower ash content than dry torrefaction. The potassium can promote thermochemical conversion; however, it lowers the melting of ash, causing slugging fouling. Therefore, this study, investigated effect on HTC sorghum bagasse by comparing remov...

Korea produced cattle manure has high energy potential due to its solids content, including sawdust. However, it is difficult use sawdust as a raw material for anaerobic digestion content of non-degradable organic materials. This study used hydrothermal carbonization, one the hydrolysis processes, analyze effect improving methane production efficiency through carbonization using livestock sludg...
