    A First Process-Oriented Characterization of Eriolobus Trilobatus (Labill. Ex Poiret) Bark From Turkey: Chemical, Morphological and Energy Properties
    (MDPI, 2025) Sen, Umut; Yucedag, Cengiz; Balci, Busra; Arici, Sefik; Kocar, Gunnur; Sat, Beyza; Pereira, Helena
    For the first time, Eriolobus trilobatus bark from Turkey has been characterized in terms of its chemical, extractive, fuel, and ash characteristics using SEM-EDS, wet chemical analysis, phenolic analysis, FT-IR, TGA, XRF, XRD, BET surface area measurement, proximate analysis, and ash fusion temperature (AFT) determination. The results showed that the bark contains 13% ash, dominated by calcium oxalate, and 15% extractives, largely composed of polar phenolic compounds with moderate radical-scavenging potential. Thermal decomposition of bark proceeds in four distinct stages, associated with the sequential degradation of extractives/hemicelluloses, cellulose, lignin/suberin, and inorganic fractions. The higher calorific value of 14.9 MJ/kg indicates moderate fuel quality compared with conventional woody biomass. Ash is mesoporous with a CaO-rich structure highly suitable for catalytic applications in biodiesel production and biomass gasification. Ash fusion analysis revealed a high flow temperature (1452 degrees C), indicating a very low slagging risk during thermochemical conversion. Overall, E. trilobatus bark is a promising material for value-added biorefinery pathways, enabling processes for the production of biochars, CaO-based catalysts, phenolic extracts, and sustainable energy. The valorization of E. trilobatus bark not only enhances the economic potential of forestry residues but also provides environmental co-benefits through carbon soil amendment and landscape applications.

    Biomass-Based Polygeneration Systems With Hydrogen Production: a Concise Review and Case Study
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2024) Hajimohammadi Tabriz,Z.; Mohammadpourfard,M.; Gökçen Akkurt,G.; Çağlar,B.
    This chapter discusses the importance of biomass-based polygeneration systems in producing hydrogen as a clean and safe energy carrier. The benefits of polygeneration systems, which can produce multiple products and minimize waste, are highlighted, and the need for clean and efficient hydrogen production is emphasized. This study gives a brief overview of hydrogen production from biomass-based polygeneration systems, which examines the systems in two main classifications: systems that use biomass as a potential and rich source of hydrogen and systems that exploit the energy content of biomass to run hydrogen production units. Furthermore, a new multigeneration system with hydrogen production has been introduced and thermodynamically evaluated. Also, its results have been obtained in a real situation. Overall, this chapter offers insights into the potential of biomass-based polygeneration systems in meeting energy demands while reducing environmental impact. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024.

    Biomass Driven Polygeneration Systems: a Review of Recent Progress and Future Prospects
    (Elsevier, 2023) Tabriz, Zahra Hajimohammadi; Khani, Leyla; Mohammadpourfard, Mousa; Gökçen Akkurt, Gülden
    Biomass is the most widely used renewable energy source which is highly appreciated due to its high availability and non-intermittent nature. Considering problems such as reduction of fossil fuels, global warming, and emission of greenhouse gases, lack of attention to the existing situation may cause irreversible damage to the future of the planet. In addition to using renewable energy sources, improving the efficiency of systems will also be helpful. Polygeneration systems play an important role in increasing efficiency and reducing pollution. So, the use of biomass in polygeneration systems seems to be a great approach for sustainable development. Recent studies on biomass-based polygeneration systems have focused on how to use biomass and integrate diverse subsystems to achieve the best performance from energy and exergy viewpoints. The present paper reviews biomass-based systems, and the parameters affecting the performance of these systems. The literature review shows that the high exergy destruction rate in the gasifiers is the most frequent problem among recent articles. In addition, despite the advantages of anaerobic digestion process, the number of studies conducted on the use of this method for biomass conversion is small. In the end, results, limitations, and future outlooks of these systems are discussed.

    Bibliometric Analysis of Research Trends on the Thermochemical Conversion of Plastics During 1990-2020
    (Elsevier, 2021) Khatun, Roomana; Xiang, Huan; Yang, Yang; Wang, Jiawei; Yıldız, Güray
    The aim of this bibliometric analysis was to evaluate the trends in literature and the impact of publications that have been published during the period 1990-2020, in the field of thermochemical conversion of plastics, namely gasification, liquefaction and pyrolysis. SCOPUS was used and data was vetted via MS Excel, with analysis being completed via MS Excel and VOSViewer. A total of 1705 publications were used in the study, and China was identified as the most productive country. Pyrolysis was the most researched technology with over 88% of publications, while liquefaction accounted for less than 3% of the total publications. Across all three technologies, polyethylene (PE) was the most commonly occurring type of plastic. Journal of Analytical and Applied Pyrolysis had the highest number of publications and total citations. However, Energy Conversion and Management had a higher impact factor and higher average citations per publication. University of Alicante was identified as the most productive university with a total of 45 publications, while University of Leeds was the most commonly cited with an average of 65 citations per publication. The keyword analysis showed that copyrolysis with biomass and catalytic pyrolysis are gaining increased interests.

    Hydrogen Production From Algal Biomass Via Steam Gasification
    (Elsevier Ltd., 2014) Duman, Gözde; Uddin, Md. Azhar; Yanık, Jale
    Algal biomasses were tested as feedstock for steam gasification in a dual-bed microreactor in a two-stage process. Gasification experiments were carried out in absence and presence of catalyst. The catalysts used were 10% Fe2O3-90% CeO2 and red mud (activated and natural forms). Effects of catalysts on tar formation and gasification efficiencies were comparatively investigated. It was observed that the characteristic of algae gasification was dependent on its components and the catalysts used. The main role of the catalyst was reforming of the tar derived from algae pyrolysis, besides enhancing water gas shift reaction. The tar reduction levels were in the range of 80-100% for seaweeds and of 53-70% for microalgae. Fe2O3-CeO2 was found to be the most effective catalyst. The maximum hydrogen yields obtained were 1036cc/g algae for Fucus serratus, 937cc/g algae for Laminaria digitata and 413cc/g algae for Nannochloropsis oculata.
