Abstract
The efficient utilization of organic solid waste resources can help reducing the consumption of conventional fossil fuels, mitigating environmental pollution, and achieving green sustainable development. Due to its dual nature of being both a resource and a source of pollution, it is crucial to implement suitable recycling technologies throughout the recycling and upgrading processes for plastics and biomass, which are organic solid wastes with complex mixture of components. The conventional pyrolysis and hydropyrolysis were summarized for recycling plastics and biomass into high-value fuels, chemicals, and materials. To enhance reaction efficiency and improve product selectivity, microwave-assisted pyrolysis was introduced to the upgrading of plastics and biomass through efficient energy supply especially with the aid of catalysts and microwave absorbers. This review provides a detail summary of microwave-assisted pyrolysis for plastics and biomass from the technical, applied, and mechanistic perspectives. Based on the recent technological advances, the future directions for the development of microwave-assisted pyrolysis technologies are predicted.

Abstract
Lignocellulosic biomass is one of the most promising renewable resources and can replace fossil fuels via various biorefinery processes. Through this study, we addressed and analyzed recent advances in the thermochemical conversion of various lignocellulosic biomasses. We summarized the operation conditions and results related to each thermochemical conversion processes such as pyrolysis (torrefaction), hydrothermal treatment, gasification and combustion. This review indicates that using thermochemical conversion processes in biorefineries is techno-economically feasible, easy, and effective compared with biological processes. The challenges experienced in thermochemical conversion processes are also presented in this study for better understanding the future of thermochemical conversion processes for biorefinery. With the aid of artificial intelligence and machine learning, we can reduce time-consumption and experimental work for bio-oil production and syngas production processes.

Abstract
With the aggravation of the energy crisis and environmental problems, biomass resource, as a renewable carbon resource, has received great attention. Catalytic fast pyrolysis (CFP) is a promising technology, which can convert solid biomass into high value liquid fuel, bio-char and syngas. Catalyst plays a vital role in the rapid pyrolysis, which can increase the yield and selectivity of aromatics and other products in bio-oil. In this paper, the traditional zeolite catalysts and metal modified zeolite catalysts used in CFP are summarized. The influence of the catalysts on the yield and selectivity of the product obtained from pyrolysis was discussed. The deactivation and regeneration of the catalyst were discussed. Catalytic co-pyrolysis (CCP) and microwave-assisted pyrolysis (MAP) are new technologies developed in traditional pyrolysis technology. CCP improves the problem of hydrogen deficiency in the biomass pyrolysis process and raises the yield and character of pyrolysis products, through the co-feeding of biomass and hydrogen-rich substances. The pyrolysis reactions of biomass and polymers (plastics and waste tires) in CCP were reviewed to obtain the influence of co-pyrolysis on composition and selectivity of pyrolysis products. The catalytic mechanism of the catalyst in CCP and the reaction path of the product are described, which is very important to improve the understanding of co-pyrolysis technology. In addition, the effects of biomass pretreatment, microwave adsorbent, catalyst and other reaction conditions on the pyrolysis products of MAP were reviewed, and the application of MAP in the preparation of high value-added biofuels, activated carbon and syngas was introduced.

JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS 2019; 377:341-348. [PMID: 31173984 DOI: 10.1016/j.jhazmat.2019.05.092] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/22/2018] [Revised: 05/27/2019] [Accepted: 05/28/2019] [Indexed: 06/09/2023]
Abstract
As an environmental contaminant, petroleum-contaminated soil will pollute water, stunt agricultural growth, and cause serious harms to human health if it wasn't safely disposed and remediated. Here, low-temperature microwave-assisted treatment of petroleum-contaminated soil was developed for simultaneous soil rehabilitation, oil recovery and revegetation. The results indicated the concentration of petroleum contaminant was decreased to regulatory standard after 20 min treatment at 250-300 °C. 91.6% of the oil was recovered, and it mainly consisted of C11-C30 hydrocarbons. Using the soil remediated at 250 °C for plant growth test, no adverse effect or fertility loss was observed and an optimal clover germination rate was reached. The results of microwave thermogravimetric analysis, dielectric property and EDX mapping revealed that the efficient remediation was attributed to the presence of hot spots, and the efficient heat /mass transfer during microwave heating. A three-stage petroleum removal mechanism was proposed, where the hydrocarbons were gradually removed via steam stripping, thermal desorption, and pyrolysis/carbonization as the temperature increased.

BIORESOURCE TECHNOLOGY 2018; 267:333-340. [PMID: 30029179 DOI: 10.1016/j.biortech.2018.07.071] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/28/2018] [Revised: 07/12/2018] [Accepted: 07/13/2018] [Indexed: 06/08/2023]
Abstract
An efficient method for microwave-assisted low temperature catalytic elimination of primary tars using cheap biochar as catalyst has been developed along with H2 rich syngas production. Tar removal efficiency reached 94.03% after 8 min reaction at 600 °C, while the concentration of H2 and syngas was up to 50.5 vol% and 94.5 vol% respectively, which were significantly comparable to conventional technologies at 700-900 °C. The FT-IR, ICP and EDX results indicated that the biochar surface contained O-containing functional groups and 12.6 wt% uniformly dispersed alkali and alkaline earth metals (AAEMs) in the carbon skeleton. The low temperature behaviours were attributed to the hot spots, which were induced by the increased dielectric properties of biochar and decentralized AAEMs under microwave heating. Possible reaction mechanism for the elimination of primary tars over biochar catalysts were discussed based on this experimental study.
