Hot-water extraction of industrial aspen woodchips (mainly Populus tremuloides) and subsequent soda pulping were carried out in an M/K(R) digester. It was found that mass removal of woodchips was 4.74% at 160 degrees C for 15 min with a water-to-wood ratio of 4:1, and that mass removal increased with extraction time and temperature. The mass removal reached 21.38% at 160 degrees C for 210 min. Less than 6% lignin (on total wood mass) from virgin woodchips was dissolved in the extraction liquor. The concentrations of xylose, acetic acid, formic acid and furfural in the extraction liquor were measured by H-1 NMR, which were found to increase with extraction time and temperature. Furfural increased sharply beyond 150 min of extraction at 160 degrees C. The residual woodchips were subjected to soda pulping at 150 degrees C for 3 h with 20% effective alkali and a liquor-to-wood ratio of 4.5:1. Compared with the control sample, the overall pulp yield for extracted woodchips decreased little while rejects decreased sharply. Kappa number of the pulps decreased with increasing extraction time and temperature. Viscosity of the pulp increased with increasing extraction temperature and duration for the first 90 min. Beyond 90 min of extraction, the resulting pulp viscosity decreased with increasing duration of extraction. The water-to-wood ratio had little effect on the entire process. Considering bioconversion of extracted hemicellulose to fuel/chemicals and the resultant pulping characteristics, hot-water extraction at 165 degrees C for 90 min with a water-to-water ratio of 5:1 for aspen woodchips seems to be optimum.

Gasification kinetics of chars from diverse residues under suitable conditions for the Sorption Enhanced Gasification process
G. Grasa, I. Martinez, R. Murillo
Summary: Gasification kinetics of six chars from residual origin were studied under relatively low temperature, low CO2, and high H2O partial pressures. The Random Pore Model (RPM) showed the best fit to experimental results, but the selection of the reaction model depended on the ash composition, specifically the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metals. Chars with ash content higher than 30% wt. were modeled with the RPM model, while chars with the highest K/Si ratio required modified versions of the RPM to accurately predict reaction rates. Textural properties played a key role in determining reaction parameters, such as the pre-exponential factor and activation energy, for chars with similar ash content and composition.

A review on emerging technologies and machine learning approaches for sustainable production of biofuel from biomass waste
V. Godvin Sharmila, Surya Prakash Shanmugavel, J. Rajesh Banu
Summary: Proper treatment and disposal of biomass waste is crucial to prevent environmental deposition and its negative impacts. Biofuel has emerged as a potential alternative to fossil fuels, reducing carbon emissions and meeting global energy demands. This review examines different biomass waste conversion techniques and explores the production of biofuels with zero carbon emissions. Research on anaerobic treatment, metabolic engineering, and artificial intelligence has been conducted to enhance biofuel production efficiency.

Influencing factors and environmental feasibility analysis of agricultural waste preprocessing routes towards biofuel production - A review
Selvakumar Periyasamy, Adane Asefa Adego, P. Senthil Kumar, G. G. Desta, T. Zelalem, V. Karthik, J. Beula Isabel, Mani Jayakumar, Venkatesa Prabhu Sundramurthy, Gayathri Rangasamy
Summary: Valorizing agricultural waste into valuable products is crucial for environmental protection and bioeconomy advancement. Preprocessing of agricultural waste is a critical step to convert free carbohydrate molecules for final conversion, and factors such as biomass nature, feed loading, pH, temperature, and time influence the process. This review provides comprehensive information on agricultural waste availability, preprocessing techniques, and factors influencing performance.

A comprehensive machine learning-coupled response surface methodology approach for predictive modeling and optimization of biogas potential in anaerobic Co-digestion of organic waste
Aqueel Ahmad, Ashok Kumar Yadav, Achhaibar Singh, Dinesh Kumar Singh
Summary: The study focuses on predicting and optimizing the yield of biogas production in an anaerobic digester using co-digestion. Experimental data was used to develop a machine learning-based prognostic model, and the Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was employed to optimize the parameters. The results demonstrate that RSM coupled with machine learning is an effective technique for modeling, predicting, and optimizing biogas production yield.

Unraveling the thermal decomposition and conversion mechanisms of silica aerogel-infused cork cells
Yijing Zhong, Wenxiang Zhai, Xinli Wei
Summary: This paper studies the thermal stability and decomposition of cork materials with and without silica aerogel filler. The results show that the decomposition is inhibited and the pyrolysis is significantly reduced with the addition of silica aerogel. This finding suggests that silica aerogel-infused cork may be a promising raw material for biofuel production with reduced environmental pollution.
