Physico-chemical characterization using a statistical method is a crucial first step in the process of recovering energy from solid waste. The objective of this study is the creation of the Optimization-Prediction of Higher Heating Value (HHV) Model (OPHhvM) to be classified as an innovation in the field. In addition to a more complex model optimiz...
Urban solid waste has a significant impact on the environment and sustainable development, especially with legislative efforts focused on waste preservation to mitigate climate change. By integrating solid waste reduction and recovery systems into the integrated municipal waste management framework in Ouagadougou, numerous health, socio-economic, a...
A new method combines thermochemical and physicochemical approaches: Ouagadougou's foods and combustibles waste into energy
Urban solid waste has a significant impact on the environment and sustainable development, especially with legislative efforts focused on waste preservation to mitigate climate change. By integrating solid waste reduction and recovery systems into the integrated municipal waste management framework in Ouagadougou, numerous health, socioeconomic , a...
Efficient solid waste management and optimized resource recovery are crucial to environmental sustainability. In this work, a well-organized sampling and structured waste sorting approach were implemented, using a statistically reliable solid waste characterization method to verify the prediction model created in the Python language. The sample was...

The valuation of CNSL (cashew nut shell liquid), a by-product of the cashew nut sector, could be a solution to improve access to energy in sub-Saharan Africa. This work aimed by studying the valuation of CNSL for its use in a generator mixing with diesel. With this in mind, the CNSL was initially purified by filtration at 25μm after solubilization...
Catalysts based on natural and widely available materials have attracted considerable attention for the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils into biodiesel. This work provides a straightforward process for the preparation of efficient KOH/Lateritic clay-based catalysts by wet impregnation followed by calcination. The catalysts were charac...
This paper introduces the design of a biomass gasification reactor with specific constraints for its manufacturing and operation in the West African conditions. The foreseen applications are the valorisation into heat and electricity of agricultural biomass residues. Rice husk is chosen as the reference fuel for the design. Local manufacturing is a...
Lignocellulosic agricultural residues are worldwide used for the production of activated carbons with purpose of eliminate a large range of pollutants such as diuron, a very persistent herbicide found in streams. This work studies the adsorption of diuron in aqueous solution on two different activated carbons, a commercial activated carbon and a pr...
Although vegetable oils are apparently an advantageous alternative fuel for direct use in traditional diesel engines with no modification necessary, in practice many problems are regularly discussed in the literature including filter clogging, breakage of certain types of injection pumps, and deposits of carbon on the cold parts of engines.
Several...
The use of biomass for energy production is one way to ensure energy security and address the environmental issues related to the use of fossil fuels in developing countries. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) need electric power and thermal energy for their activities. In Burkina Faso, this type of thermal energy is generally produced by SM...
The present study seeks to determine the influence of pot size on the energy efficiency of a metallic improved cookstove. It is part of a contributory approach to the knowledge of the impact of a given size pot on carbon credit calculations within the framework of improved cookstoves programs. The studied stove was submitted to the Water Boiling Te...
Le présent travail constitue les premières investigations d’optimisation de la production et des caractéristiques carburant d’huile végétale de Jatropha curcas (pourghère) à l’unité de production de la société Belwet Biocarburant. Les tests ont été réalisés entre les pressions de pas de vis 9 et 7. De ces investigations, il ressort que la consommat...
L’accès à l’énergie des populations rurales est encore très limité en Afrique subsaharienne (moins de 11% de la population rurales est relié à un réseau électrique selon AIE, 2010). La lutte contre la pauvreté des populations rurales passe par le développement d’activités productrices susceptibles de générer des revenus et des emplois qui nécessite...
RÉSUMÉ La Fondation Dreyer, ONG allemande basée à Dano au Sud-ouest du Burkina Faso, a sollicité dans le cadre de ses activités la société Burkinabè A.R.RE.T et les chercheurs du LBEB de 2IE, pour concevoir un foyer à huile végétale destiné à la préparation de «dolo» (bière traditionnelle à base de mil). Cette dernière est à l'origine de 70% de la...
Présentation de l'éditeur : Convaincu de l'intérêt de l'huile végétale comme carburant et du potentiel que représentent les oléagineux d'Afrique, la Fondation 2iE a souhaité mettre à la disposition d'un large public ses connaissances sur différentes plantes oléagineuses africaines disponibles pour la production de carburant. L'objectif du guide est...
