The investigation endeavors to examine the potential utilization of cotton stalks as an environmentally friendly and sustainable energy source. During the investigation, biochar was generated through pyrolysis at temperatures of 300, 500, and 700 ˚C for 4 h, while hydrochars were produced via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) at 180, 210, and 240 ˚C for the same duration. The findings revealed that hydrochar exhibited higher mass and energy yields, with mass yields of 60 ± 7% compared to 41 ± 10% for biochar, and energy yields of 87 ± 1% compared to 63 ± 5% for biochar. Elemental analysis results indicated an increase in carbon percentage with rising process temperatures, with carbon content increasing from 59% at 300 ˚C to 78% at 700 ˚C for pyrolysis, and from 49% at 180 ˚C to 63% at 240 ˚C for HTC. The biochar synthesized at 700 ˚C demonstrated the highest measured high heating value (HHV<sub>m</sub>) of 29.83 MJ/kg, whereas for HTC, the HHV<sub>m</sub> of 25.88 MJ/kg was reported for hydrochar synthesized at 240 ˚C. From the computed thermal kinetic parameters, it is evident that the biochars are more thermally stable than hydrochars and raw cotton. According to the Van Krevelen diagram, both biochar and hydrochar products exhibited improved fuel properties. The cumulative evidence suggests a ground-breaking potential for utilizing these char products as sustainable solid fuel alternatives.</p><h3>Graphical Abstract</h3>\u0000<div><figure><div><div><picture><source><img></source></picture></div></div></figure></div></div>","PeriodicalId":487,"journal":{"name":"BioEnergy Research","volume":"18 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143110054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Anaerobic digestion, aiming to recover energy and nutrients from organic waste, aligns with the circular economy's principles. This paper provides a comprehensive overview of utilizing biodiesel byproducts for biogas production, exploring techniques for enhancing biogas yield and addressing associated challenges. Assessing the potential of biodiesel byproducts highlights their environmental sustainability and economic viability for biogas production. Non-edible seed cake, rich in nutrients, shows promise for significant biogas yield. Additionally, crude glycerol, easily biodegradable, is identified as a promising co-digester, aiding in digesting recalcitrant substrates. Empirical data reveals remarkable methane yield boosts, ranging from 14 to 226% when co-digesting with crude glycerol. Moreover, the resulting digestate enhances soil fertility, promoting healthier plant growth and productivity. Challenges in anaerobic digestion, such as substrate C/N ratio imbalance and recalcitrance, necessitate strategies like substrate pretreatment and co-digestion with compatible materials to optimize biogas yield. Furthermore, advancements in anaerobic digestion technologies are crucial for effectively converting biodiesel wastes into biogas. Additionally, interdisciplinary investigations, including techno-economic analysis, lifecycle assessment, and sensitivity analysis, are vital to enhance and validate the feasibility of anaerobic digestion for biodiesel byproducts.
