Bioenergy Potential of Crop Residues: A Proximate and Mineral Composition Assessment
This study presents an experimental approach to determine the proximate and mineral composition of selected agricultural crop wastes, focusing on sugarcane and banana residues. Representative samples were collected and subjected to proximate analysis to measure key components, including moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, and ash content. To further assess the mineral composition, AAS was utilized to quantify essential elements such as calcium oxide, magnesium oxide, and potassium oxide. The results revealed that banana crop waste had a higher moisture content (8.2%) than sugarcane crop waste (5.95%), whereas sugarcane waste exhibited greater volatile matter (77.99% vs. 63.89%) and fixed carbon (10.89% vs. 10.49%). The ash content of banana crop waste was notably higher at 17.99%, compared to 7.75% for sugarcane waste. Furthermore, the higher heating values (HHV) for sugarcane and banana wastes were recorded at 19.45 MJ/kg and 13.23 MJ/kg, respectively, aligning closely with reported literature values. This study offers key insights into the energy potential and mineral composition of agricultural residues, reinforcing their viability for bioenergy applications and mineral recovery. Future research could explore advanced pretreatment methods to enhance the bioenergy yield and optimize mineral extraction processes for industrial applications. It provides a foundation for optimizing waste-to-energy technologies for developing countries.
期刊介绍:
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution is an international, interdisciplinary journal on all aspects of pollution and solutions to pollution in the biosphere. This includes chemical, physical and biological processes affecting flora, fauna, water, air and soil in relation to environmental pollution. Because of its scope, the subject areas are diverse and include all aspects of pollution sources, transport, deposition, accumulation, acid precipitation, atmospheric pollution, metals, aquatic pollution including marine pollution and ground water, waste water, pesticides, soil pollution, sewage, sediment pollution, forestry pollution, effects of pollutants on humans, vegetation, fish, aquatic species, micro-organisms, and animals, environmental and molecular toxicology applied to pollution research, biosensors, global and climate change, ecological implications of pollution and pollution models. Water, Air, & Soil Pollution also publishes manuscripts on novel methods used in the study of environmental pollutants, environmental toxicology, environmental biology, novel environmental engineering related to pollution, biodiversity as influenced by pollution, novel environmental biotechnology as applied to pollution (e.g. bioremediation), environmental modelling and biorestoration of polluted environments.
Articles should not be submitted that are of local interest only and do not advance international knowledge in environmental pollution and solutions to pollution. Articles that simply replicate known knowledge or techniques while researching a local pollution problem will normally be rejected without review. Submitted articles must have up-to-date references, employ the correct experimental replication and statistical analysis, where needed and contain a significant contribution to new knowledge. The publishing and editorial team sincerely appreciate your cooperation.
Water, Air, & Soil Pollution publishes research papers; review articles; mini-reviews; and book reviews.
