Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Yaman Xu"
- Yaman Xu's research focuses on improving the hydrochar quality produced from hydrothermal carbonization processes, specifically targeting the optimization of material combinations such as sewage sludge and rice straw.
- The studies explore the impact of various factors, including mixing ratios and hydrothermal temperatures, on the yield and fuel properties of hydrochar, revealing significant enhancements in organic matter content and combustion behavior.
- Xu also investigates the effects of pre-drying on sewage sludge and its implications for hydrothermal carbonization, suggesting that pre-drying methods may influence hydrochar quality by altering the floc structure and promoting hydrolysis, thereby potentially reducing nitrogen content.
