Olive oil industry is one of the most important industries in the world. Currently, the land
devoted to olive-tree cultivation around the world is ca. 11× 106 ha, which produces more …

The aim of the paper was to summarize and discuss current research trends in biomass
thermal treatment (torrefaction process). Quantitative analyses were carried out, in which the …

The routine pruning and cutting of fruit trees provides a considerable amount of biowaste
each year. This lignocellulosic biomass, mainly in the form of branches, trunks, rootstocks …

The aim of the present paper is to compare the combustion results of two solid biofuels
suitable for industrial applications: olive tree pruning (OTP) pellets and sunflower husk (SH) …

In this work, the impacts of temperature, equivalence ratio, contact-time, and torrefaction on
air gasification of olive cake at low temperatures were experimentally investigated. Both raw …

In this work the management of a waste called off-specification compost (OSC) was
proposed via hydrothermal carbonization (HTC). The composition of this residue makes it …

Significant quantities of Posidonia oceanica deposit on some beaches and coastlines every
year, which generates high costs associated with the disposal of this waste. Pyrolysis may …

Plasma-enhanced reforming has been widely studied as an efficient technology for online
tar removal. By combining reforming experiments with kinetic modeling and in-situ optical …

This research aims to optimize the hydrothermal pretreatment based on previous studies,
with the objective of extracting and determining value-added products from olive cake, and …
