Abstract

Apple pomace is a solid waste derived from the apple processing industry. To foster sustainability, the apple processing industry must implement the circular economy model of biorefinery and treat apple pomace as a valuable source of apple seed oil. The first time, this study dealt with the design, economic, and potential environmental impact assessment of biodiesel production using apple pomace as a source of apple seed oil. An Aspen Plus? and WAR? software were used to evaluate the designed biodiesel production. Supercritical CO2 extraction and methanolysis of apple seed oil, methanol recovery, and biodiesel separation were the main production steps. The production facility was assumed to process 24 tons of apple seeds daily. The total capital and production costs were 1.26 US$ million and 2.82 US$ million, respectively. If revenues from selling apple seed meal as cattle feed were included, a biodiesel price could be 0.39 US$/kg. The process was environmentally friendly when apple seed meal was not treated as waste.

苹果加工业的循环经济:利用苹果废籽生产生物柴油

苹果渣是苹果加工业产生的固体废物。为了促进可持续发展，苹果加工业必须实施生物精炼的循环经济模式，并将苹果渣作为苹果籽油的宝贵来源。本研究首次对利用苹果渣作为苹果籽油来源生产生物柴油的设计、经济和潜在环境影响进行了评估。阿斯彭Plus?和战争?利用软件对设计的生物柴油产量进行评价。苹果籽油的超临界CO2萃取和甲醇分解、甲醇回收和生物柴油分离是该工艺的主要生产步骤。据推测，该生产设施每天可加工24吨苹果籽。总资本和生产成本分别为126万美元和282万美元。如果将苹果籽粕作为牛饲料的销售收入计算在内，生物柴油的价格可能为每公斤0.39美元。当苹果籽粉不被当作废物处理时，这个过程是环保的。
