Is anaerobic digestion a feasible alternative to the combustion of olive mill solid waste in terms of energy production? A critical review
(John Wiley and Sons Ltd, 2021)
The use of olive mill solid waste (OMSW) for energy production has mainly been promoted through combustion processes. However, the EU is promoting the substitution of combustion in favor of greener alternatives. Several ...

Techno-economic and Life-Cycle Assessment of One-Step Production of 1,3-Butadiene from Bioethanol Using Reaction Data under Industrial Operating Conditions
(ACS Publications, 2020-07)
A process to produce 1,3-butadiene (1,3-BD) from ethanol in a one-step reaction with a Hf-Zn catalyst was designed using experimental data from the catalyst performance under industrial conditions, taking into account the ...

Assessing the economic and environmental sustainability of bio-olefins: the case of 1,3-butadiene production from bioethanol
(Elsevier, 2022)
There is a growing interest in the production of biobutadiene from bioethanol, but it is not possible to conclude from the literature which conversion process, either by one or two reaction steps, is preferred since there ...

PH-Controlled fermentation of strawberry waste as phenol solubilisation method
(Elsevier, 2020)
The present study aims to use pH as a control parameter for the accumulation of target compounds. Solubilisation of wasted strawberry through fermentation at different operational pH (pH 4, 7, and 9) was evaluated. Methane ...
