In light of the depletion of fossil fuel reserves and growing concerns regarding harm to the environment, it is imperative to shift towards a bioenergy-centric economy, which is more sustainable. As a feasible alternative to fuels and chemicals, biomass has been identified as a viable solution for it. Conversion of biomass to biofuels is done throu...
Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have been studied for more than twenty-five years due to their distinguishing features such as high tensile strength, high elastic module, high surface area, high thermal and electrical conductivity, making them ideal for a variety of applications. Nanotechnology and nanoscience researchers are working to develop CNTs with a...
Biochar, prepared from Prosopis Juliflora (PJ) through slow pyrolysis, was used as biological precursor material for Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) synthesis. Microwave assisted heating was used to synthesize CNTs from a mixture of PJ wood biochar and ferrocene. The experiment performed at operating condition 150 • C temperature and 3-minute residence tim...
This study presents a detailed analysis to utilize bamboo which is a widely available feedstock in North-Eastern states of India, via air-steam gasification with an estimated potential to generate 23.92 PJ energy. The study was carried out in a downdraft gasifier (10 kWe) to produce hydrogen-rich syngas. The effect of the steam to biomass ratio (0....
In this study, the slow pyrolysis of Prosopis Juliflora was performed to determine the product yield distribution and its physiochemical properties, thermodynamic and sustainability performance of a process. Findings indicate that the increase in process temperature (300–600 °C) negatively impacted biochar yield while positively affected bio-oil an...
Rice straw management is a significant challenge in northern India. In-situ combustion of rice straw is a practice to clear the agricultural field. Therefore, an attempt was made to add value to rice straw by producing activated biochar and check its efficacy to adsorbed Zn+2 contaminants from the water. The influence of pH, contact time, initial m...
Slow pyrolysis of rice straw was carried out in a bench-scale fixed bed pyrolysis reactor. The effect of pyrolysis temperatures (300, 400, 500, and 600 ºC) and residence time (1, 2, and 3 h) on product yield distribution and energy yield was studied. The biochar yield decreased from 57.87-31.25 wt.% with a rise in pyrolysis temperature and residenc...
With the growing population, agriculture productivity is increasing due to the high demand for food, which in turn produces a large amount of agricultural waste. Pyrolysis of crop residues is one of the suitable options to produce biochar and can be utilized as a fuel. In the present study, the slow pyrolysis of rice straw was carried out at four t...
