Fossil fuels are non-renewable, and their consumption poses global warming. Biomass-derived fuels are sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels as they are originated from renewable feedstocks. The present study investigates the production of biocrude from hydrothermal liquefaction of Canadian agricultural straws at identical conditions. Further, barley straw is found to be promising; therefore, hydrothermal liquefaction process parameters are varied for barley straw to maximize the biocrude yield with lower oxygen content. At optimum reaction conditions, the existence of carboxylic acids, phenols, aldehydes, and ketones is identified in the produced biocrude. Further, the recyclability study of the aqueous phase is attempted to explore the possibility of reusing this phase. The physicochemical characteristics of the biocrude (main product) and by-products (hydrochar, non-condensable gases, and aqueous phase) are also studied to identify the suitable areas of applications. The present experimental study demonstrates a detailed understanding of the liquefaction behavior of Canadian barley straw for biocrude production with an immense potential to co-refine in the existing petroleum refineries.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":326,"journal":{"name":"Fuel Processing Technology","volume":"261 ","pages":"Article 108108"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S037838202400078X/pdfft?md5=de1c88491d7b49efa6520912d64b5dcc&pid=1-s2.0-S037838202400078X-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141596262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the volatilization of small molecular components in GPC inevitably results in the generation of pores and microcracks which seriously deteriorates the mechanical performance of carbon blocks. Herein, we report a facile quinoline-assisted composition regulation approach to prepare high mechanical strength carbon blocks using GPC as the starting material. Quinoline exhibits three major functions. Firstly, unideal organic volatiles can be effectively removed via quinoline extraction, thereby inhibiting the generation of pores and microcracks. Secondly, the presence of quinoline can promote the polymerization of aryl compounds due to its easy formation of free radicals. Thirdly, the interactions between the graphite layers are enhanced by the polarization of the aromatic rings, which clearly improves the mechanical performance of the carbon blocks. As a result, the obtained carbon block GPC/QI-17-C demonstrates an apparent density of 1.56 g·cm<sup>−3</sup>, flexural strength of 39.61 MPa and compressive strength of 136.98 MPa, which are 1.16, 3.39 and 4.53 times that of pristine GPC counterparts, respectively.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":326,"journal":{"name":"Fuel Processing Technology","volume":"260 ","pages":"Article 108103"},"PeriodicalIF":7.2,"publicationDate":"2024-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378382024000730/pdfft?md5=3d32f8439d8214b9cb3a7fd494ef1900&pid=1-s2.0-S0378382024000730-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141543292","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Experiments were realized as pyrolysis of palm oil, palmitic acid, and Kraft lignin, as well as co-pyrolysis of palm oil/lignin, palmitic acid/lignin and palmitic acid/guaiacol. It has been shown that the addition of lignin improves the quality of palm oil pyrolysis bio-oil, thanks to the conversion of fatty acids coproduct to fatty acid methyl esters (FAME). The production of methyl esters in the reaction environment using palm oil and lignin was studied by conducting experiments with palmitic acid and lignin, as well as palmitic acid and guaiacol (the main product obtained from lignin pyrolysis). The results highlighted that during pyrolysis, the production of FAME is a consequence of a direct esterification reaction on palmitic acid. The formation of FAMEs during pyrolysis presents a promising avenue to optimize the utilization of palm oil by generating FAMEs as supplementary fuel products, Furthermore, it is possible to consider the application of the studied process for the conversion of free fatty acids into FAME.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":326,"journal":{"name":"Fuel Processing Technology","volume":"257 ","pages":"Article 108092"},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2024-04-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378382024000626/pdfft?md5=1c85b9dcbfcec0c35f2fd9ff0d4a38f6&pid=1-s2.0-S0378382024000626-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140645849","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
