Abstract

Phenol manufacturing industries contribute significantly to CO₂ emissions and harmful substances, posing environmental risks and accelerating global warming. To address these issues, sustainable alternatives are needed. This study evaluates the environmental performance of phenolic bio-oil production from olive pomace using chemical and thermochemical pretreatments combined with fast pyrolysis. A process simulation and life cycle assessment (LCA) were conducted with a functional unit of 100 kg/h of phenol to compare environmental impacts. The results show that acid and hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) pretreatments are resource-intensive and emit harmful substances, while torrefaction offers superior environmental performance with lower emissions, higher bio-oil yield, and reduced resource consumption. These findings indicate that torrefaction is a promising, eco-friendly alternative for phenol production from renewable sources like olive pomace.

期刊介绍： Sustainable production and consumption refers to the production and utilization of goods and services in a way that benefits society, is economically viable, and has minimal environmental impact throughout its entire lifespan. Our journal is dedicated to publishing top-notch interdisciplinary research and practical studies in this emerging field. We take a distinctive approach by examining the interplay between technology, consumption patterns, and policy to identify sustainable solutions for both production and consumption systems.
