    Sustainable Biofuel Production from Brown and Green Macroalgae through the Pyrolysis

    Apip Amrullah1, Widya Fatriasari2, Novia Amalia Sholeha3, Edy Hartulistiyoso4, Obie Farobie4,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.12, No.6, pp. 1087-1102, 2024, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2024.050201 - 02 August 2024

    Abstract The escalating demand for energy coupled with environmental concerns necessitates exploring sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels. The study explores the viability of using large ocean-based seaweeds as a source of third-generation biomass, specifically focusing on their conversion to biofuel via the process of pyrolysis. Sargassum plagiophyllum and Ulva lactuca represent prevalent forms of macroalgae, posing significant discharge challenges for coastal regions globally. However, the exploration of their potential for bio-oil generation via pyrolysis remains limited. This study investigates the pyrolysis process of S. plagiophyllum and U. lactuca for biofuel production, aiming to provide valuable insights into their utilization and… More > Graphic Abstract

    Enhancing Hydrocarbon-Rich Bio-Oil Production via Catalytic Pyrolysis Fortified with Microorganism Pretreatment

    Jiapeng Wang1, Bo Zhang1,*, Haoqiang Cheng1, Zhixiang Xu2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.11, No.10, pp. 3595-3612, 2023, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2023.030005 - 10 August 2023

    Abstract A new method of pretreatment of corn straw with Phanerochaete chrysosporium combined with pyrolysis was proposed to improve the quality of bio-oil. The characterization results demonstrated that microbial pretreatment was an effective method to decrease the lignin, which can achieve a maximum removal rate of 44.19%. Due to the destruction of biomass structure, the content of alkali metal and alkaline earth metal is reduced. Meanwhile, the depolymerized biomass structure created better pyrolysis conditions to promote the pyrolysis efficiency, increase the average decomposition rate of pyrolysis and reduce the residue. In fast pyrolysis, because of the enrichment… More > Graphic Abstract

    The Effect of Bio-Oil on High-Temperature Performance of Bio-Oil Recycled Asphalt Binders

    Hengcong Zhang*, Jianmin Wu, Zhong Qin, Yin Luo

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.10, No.4, pp. 1025-1037, 2022, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2022.017483 - 02 November 2021

    Abstract Bio-oil recycled asphalt binders in road engineering can help solve the problem of oil shortage and reduce the environmental pollution and sustainability. This paper investigated the road performance of the aged asphalt binder by adding bio-oil so that the aged asphalt binder could be reused to reach purpose of reuse. The residual soybean oil was selected as rejuvenator and blended with aged asphalt binder at 0%, 2%, 4%, and 6%, respectively. The results showed that bio-oil increased the penetration of aged asphalt binder, the penetration of bio-oil recycled asphalt binder with a bio-oil content of… More >

    Pyrolysis of Rice Husk in a Fluidized Bed Reactor: Evaluate the Characteristics of Fractional Bio-Oil and Particulate Emission of Carbonaceous Aerosol (CA)

    Ning Li1,2, Weiming Yi1,2, Zhihe Li1,2,*, Lihong Wang1,2, Yongjun Li1,2, Xueyuan Bai1,2, Mei Jiang1,2

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.8, No.3, pp. 329-346, 2020, DOI:10.32604/jrm.2020.08618 - 01 March 2020

    Abstract Bio-oil production via pyrolysis is one of promising technologies for renewable energy production from bio-wastes. However, the complicated biooil is still a challenge for high-valued application and during biomass pyrolysis, the emission of non-cleaned aerosol, the potential emission, namely carbonaceous aerosol (CA) increased the difficulty of the commercial promotion. In this study, Rice husk pyrolysis was performed in a semi-continuous fluidized bed reactor coupled with fractional condensers. The effects of pyrolysis and condensation temperature on the properties of bio-oil and emission of CA were investigated systemically. Results indicated that the in-situ separation of vapors was… More >

    Semi-Interpenetrating Novolac-Epoxy Thermoset Polymer Networks Derived from Plant Biomass

    Mehul Barde1,2, Yusuf Celikbag3, Brian Via3, Sushil Adhikari4, Maria L. Auad1,2,*

    Journal of Renewable Materials, Vol.6, No.7, pp. 724-736, 2018, DOI:10.32604/JRM.2018.00116

    Abstract Bio-based phenol-formaldehyde polymer (BioNovolac) was developed by reacting molar excess of bio-oil/phenol with formaldehyde in acidic medium. Glycidyl 3,5-diglycidoxybenzoate (GDGB), was prepared by direct glycidylation of α-resorcylic acid (RA), a naturally occurring phenolic monomer. GDGB was crosslinked in the presence of BioNovolac by anionic polymerization. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the formation of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks. The glass transition temperature and moduli of bio-based crosslinked systems were observed to increase with increasing GDGB content. Active chain density and mass retention measured by dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and Soxhlet extraction, respectively, indicated a high crosslink More >
