Biomass Chars: Elaboration, Characterization and Applications
This book is a printed edition of the Special Issue "Biomass Chars: Elaboration, Characterization and Applications" that was published in Energies
Biomass Chars: Elaboration, Characterization and Applications Ⅱ
Biomass can be converted to energy, biofuels, and bioproducts via thermochemical conversion processes, such as combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. Combustion technology is most widely applied on an industrial scale. However, biomass gasification and pyrolysis processes are still in the research and development stage. The major products from these processes are syngas, bio-oil, and char (called also biochar for agronomic application). Among these products, biomass chars have received increasing attention for different applications, such as gasification, co-combustion, catalysts or adsorbents precursors, soil amendment, carbon fuel cells, and supercapacitors. This Special Issue provides an overview of biomass char production methods (pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, etc.), characterization techniques (e.g., scanning electronic microscopy, X-ray fluorescence, nitrogen adsorption, Raman spectroscopy, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and temperature programmed desorption and mass spectrometry), their properties, and their suitable recovery processes.
Recent Advances in Environmental Science from the Euro-Mediterranean and Surrounding Regions (2nd Edition)
This book includes over three hundred and seventy-five short papers presented during the second EMCEI, which was held in Sousse, Tunisia in October 2019. After the success of the first EMCEI in 2017, the second installment tackled emerging environmental issues together with new challenges, e.g. by focusing on innovative approaches that contribute to achieving a sustainable environment in the Mediterranean and surrounding regions and by highlighting to decision makers from related sectors the environmental considerations that should be integrated into their respective activities. Presenting a wide range of environmental topics and new findings relevant to a variety of problems in these regions, this volume will appeal to anyone working in the subject area and particularly to students interested in learning more about new advances in environmental research initiatives in view of the worsening environmental degradation of the Mediterranean and surrounding regions, which has made environmental and resource protection into an increasingly important issue hampering sustainable development and social welfare.
Char and Carbon Materials Derived from Biomass
Char and Carbon Materials Derived from Biomass: Production, Characterization and Applications provides an overview of biomass char production methods (pyrolysis, hydrothermal carbonization, etc.), along with the characterization techniques typically used (Scanning Electronic Microscopy, X-Ray Fluorescence, Nitrogen adsorption, etc.) In addition, the book includes a discussion of the various properties of biomass chars and their suitable recovery processes, concluding with a demonstration of applications. As biomass can be converted to energy, biofuels and bioproducts via thermochemical conversion processes, such as combustion, pyrolysis and gasification, this book is ideal for professionals in energy production and storage fields, as well as professionals in waste treatment, gas treatment, and more. - Provides a discussion of sources of biomass feedstocks, such as agricultural, woody plants and food processing residue - Discusses the various production processes of biomass chars, including pyrolysis and hydrothermal carbonization - Explores various applications of biomass chars within different industries, including energy and agronomy
Recent Advances in Environmental Science from the Euro-Mediterranean and Surrounding Regions
This volume includes the papers presented during the 1st Euro-Mediterranean Conference for Environmental Integration (EMCEI) which was held in Sousse, Tunisia in November 2017. This conference was jointly organized by the editorial office of the Euro-Mediterranean Journal for Environmental Integration in Sfax, Tunisia and Springer (MENA Publishing Program) in Germany. It aimed to give a more concrete expression to the Euro-Mediterranean integration process by supplementing existing North-South programs and agreements with a new multilateral scientific forum that emphasizes in particular the vulnerability and proactive remediation of the Euro-Mediterranean region from an environmental point o...
Handbook of Coffee Processing By-Products
Handbook of Coffee Processing By-Products: Sustainable Applications presents alternative and sustainable solutions for coffee processing by-products and specifies their industrial potential, both as a source for the recovery of bioactive compounds and their reutilization in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food, biotechnology, and cosmetic industries, also covering environmental and agronomic applications. This book addresses key topics specific to sustainable management in the coffee industry, placing an emphasis on integrated solutions for the valorization and upgrade of coffee processing by-products, biorefinery, and different techniques for the separation, extraction, recovery and formulation of polyphenols. - Specifies potential for the use of by-products as a source for the recovery of bioactive compounds and their reutilization in the pharmaceutical, biotechnological, food, biotechnology and cosmetic industries - Places emphasis on integrated solutions for the valorization and upgrade of coffee processing by-products, biorefinery, and different techniques for the separation, extraction, recovery and formulation of polyphenols
Plastic Bashing : Fake News? - VERSION ANGLAISE
The negative press and political opposition to plastic hide a complex reality. When criticism is left unchallenged, our right to open debate is frustrated. What is the real situation with plastic? Is it truly public enemy number 1? Without dodging the core issues, this book provides scientific and technological points of reference. It advocates for an approach that is coherently aligned with international initiatives and calls for reindustrialisation in France. Sorting, collecting, composting, recycling, and reusing– more realistic, environmentally-friendly, and economically- viable solut ions exist, providing an alternative path to the dead end created by French legislation. This book calls for carefully-considered awareness, because before we condemn or defend, it is crucial that we understand.
Plastique Bashing : L'intox
Les prises de position médiatiques et politiques contre le plastique cachent une réalité complexe. Lorsque la critique se fait sans contradictions, le débat auquel nous avons droit est confisqué. Mais qu'en est-il réellement du plastique ? Est-il vraiment l'ennemi public numéro 1 ? Sans esquiver les problèmes de fond, ce livre donne des repères scientifiques et techniques. Il plaide pour une approche en cohérence avec les initiatives internationales et les vœux de réindustrialisation dans l'Hexagone. Tri, collecte, compostage, recyclage, réemploi... Les solutions, plus vertueuses et réalistes, tant écologiquement qu'économiquement, existent, pour un autre chemin que l'impasse proposée par la législation française. Cet ouvrage appelle à une prise de conscience réfléchie, car avant de condamner ou de défendre, il est essentiel de comprendre.
