This study investigates the thermochemical decomposition and gasification performance of biochars produced from blends of waste lignocellulosic biomass and waste insulation electrical cables at varying temperatures. Characterization tests revealed changes, particularly in ash content (27.5 %-34 %) and elemental composition, with nitrogen content increasing notably in biochar samples compared to the original feedstock. Van Krevelen diagrams demonstrated a reduction in O/C and H/C ratios with increasing production temperature, resembling fossil fuels more closely. The thermogravimetric and the derived thermogravimetric profiles illustrated distinct degradation stages influenced by heating rates and production temperature. Macro-TGA tests provided insights into biomass residue behavior under gasification conditions, indicating higher reaction rates at elevated temperatures. Syngas analysis highlighted the impact of temperature and equivalence ratio on syngas composition, with higher temperatures favoring hydrogen-rich gas production. The observed trends in cold gas efficiency (42.61 %-50.40 %) and carbon conversion efficiency (45.83 %-50.40 %) underscore the significance of temperature control in maximizing gasification performance. Biochars produced at higher temperatures demonstrated superior gasification performance, suggesting potential for optimizing biochar production processes to enhance energy recovery and waste valorization.

Biomass staged gasification technology (BSGT) divides the traditional gasification into medium-temperature devolatilization (MTD) stage, high-temperature gasification (HTG) stage and high-temperature reforming (HTR) stage. The present study conducted MTD and HTG experiments on corn stalks and focused on the effect of MTD at 200-550 °C on the reforming performance of BSGT liquid products through component analysis and simulation. The results demonstrate that the MTD temperature above 350 °C could prevent the participation of phenols and oxygen in HTG and HTR stages, respectively, thereby improving the reforming performance of BSGT liquid products and the quality of BSGT syngas.

The co-gasification of biomass and plastic waste offers a promising solution for producing hydrogen-rich syngas, addressing the rising demand for cleaner energy. However, optimizing this complex process to maximize hydrogen yield remains challenging, particularly when balancing diverse feedstocks and improving process efficiency. While machine learning (ML) has shown significant potential in simulating and optimizing such processes, there is no clear consensus on the most effective regression models for co-gasification, especially with limited experimental data.

The scope of this work was to develop a thin-film composite (TFC) membrane for the separation of CO/CO mixtures, which are relevant for many processes of gas processing and gasification of carbon-based feedstock. Special attention was given to the development of highly permeable porous polysulfone (PSF) supports (more than 26,000 GPU for CO) since both the selective and support layers contribute significantly to the overall performance of the TFC membrane. The PSF porous support is widely used in commercial and lab-scale TFC membranes, and its porous structure and other exploitation parameters are set during the non-solvent-induced phase separation (NIPS) process.

This study employed a lab-scale fluidized bed steam gasification setup to perform the co-gasification experiments with blast furnace dust (BFD) and petcoke (PC) - wastes from the steel and refining industries, respectively. Multiple experiments were conducted at the optimized conditions to decipher the effects of the mineralogical content of the feed samples on the gasification performance parameters. With the addition of iron and zinc-abundant BFD sample to PC, an effective enhancement in the ability of the gasifier to produce hydrogen-rich synthesis gas was observed, attributed to an increase in surface active sites for gasification reactivity.

Utilization of renewable resources has become imperative, and considerable efforts have been devoted to tackling diverse global sustainability challenges, which contribute to the circular economy. The focus of this work was to optimize the extraction of polyphenolic compounds in bark using microwave-assisted (MAE) and ultrasonically assisted (UAE) extractions and evaluate the biological efficacies of the extracts. Additionally, the residue of the extracted pine bark was subjected to steam gasification to produce hydrogen-rich syngas and activated carbon.
