Mekonnen KD, Yesuf AY. OH-Impregnated Household Bleach-Making Sediments for the Catalysis of Waste Cooking Oil Transesterification: Parameter Optimization. ACS OMEGA 2024; 9:4613-4626. [PMID: 38313485 PMCID: PMC10832008 DOI: 10.1021/acsomega.3c07810] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/07/2023] [Revised: 12/22/2023] [Accepted: 01/08/2024] [Indexed: 02/06/2024]
Abstract
Industrial and academic societies have been bothered with the generation and subsequent management of residues settled out from household bleach, due to its corrosive properties. Therefore, the aim of this research was to introduce a NaOH-impregnated calcium-based solid catalyst from the aforementioned sediments for waste cooking oil transesterification. To prepare the catalyst (RC-ITB), the wet impregnation technique was followed and successfully characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorescence(XRF), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) methods. The study findings suggested that RC-ITB has a BET surface area of 9.312 m2 g-1 and is largely made up of calcium with its compound forms such as carbonates, hydroxides, and oxides. The evaluation of pH values verified that RC-ITB is more alkaline (i.e., pH = 12.65) relative to its precursor RC (pH = 10.66), largely attributable to OH impregnation. To study the catalytic performance, three numeric factors with three levels of treatment were used, and their influences were analyzed through a response surface approach. Accordingly, the optimal yield of biodiesel was found to be 80.04% at a reaction temperature of 61 ± 2 °C, catalyst weight of 6.33 wt %, and a molar ratio of 23.94. Moreover, FTIR analysis verified that the glycerol part of triglycerides had been replaced with a methoxyl unit. Also, the fuel quality parameters of the FAME product were examined, including density, kinematic viscosity, acid value, density, cetane number, cloud point, saponification value, and pour point; all of these values fall within the ASTM D6751-accepted limits. Thus, the findings showed that the sediments of household bleach production could be a candidate source to explore heterogeneous basic catalysts.

Sustainable Feedstocks and Challenges in Biodiesel Production: An Advanced Bibliometric Analysis. Bioengineering (Basel) 2022; 9:bioengineering9100539. [PMID: 36290507 PMCID: PMC9598810 DOI: 10.3390/bioengineering9100539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/09/2022] [Revised: 10/02/2022] [Accepted: 10/04/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Biodiesel can be produced from vegetable oils, animal fats, frying oils, and from microorganism-synthesized oils. These sources render biodiesel an easily biodegradable fuel. The aim of this work was to perform an advanced bibliometric analysis of primary studies relating to biodiesel production worldwide by identifying the key countries and regions that have shown a strong engagement in this area, and by understanding the dynamics of their collaboration and research outputs. Additionally, an assessment of the main primary feedstocks employed in this research was carried out, along with an analysis of the current and future trends that are expected to define new paths and methodologies to be used in the manufacture of biodegradable and renewable fuels. A total of 4586 academic outputs were selected, including peer-reviewed research articles, conference papers, and literature reviews related to biodiesel production, in the time period spanning from 2010 to 2021. Articles that focused on feedstocks for the production of biodiesel were also included, with a search that returned 330 papers. Lastly, 60 articles relating to biodiesel production via sewage were specifically included to allow for an analysis of this source as a promising feedstock in the future of the biofuel market. Via the geocoding and the document analyses performed, we concluded that China, Malaysia, and India are the largest writers of articles in this area, revealing a great interest in biofuels in Asia. Additionally, it was noted that environmental concerns have caused authors to conduct research on feedstocks that can address the sustainability challenges in the production of biodiesel.

Abstract
Wastewater and activated sludge present a major challenge worldwide. Wastewater generated from large and small-scale industries, laundries, human residential areas and other sources is emerging as a main problem in sanitation and maintenance of smart/green cities. During the last decade, different technologies and processes have been developed to recycle and purify the wastewater. Currently, identification and fundamental consideration of development of more advanced microbial-based technologies that enable wastewater treatment and simultaneous resource recovery to produce bioenergy, biofuels and other value-added compounds (organic acids, fatty acids, bioplastics, bio-pesticides, bio-surfactants and bio-flocculants etc.) became an emerging topic. In the last several decades, significant development of bioprocesses and techniques for the extraction and recovery of mentioned valuable molecules and compounds from wastewater, waste biomass or sludge has been made. This review presents different microbial-based process routes related to resource recovery and wastewater application for the production of value-added products and bioenergy. Current process limitations and insights for future research to promote more efficient and sustainable routes for this under-utilized and continually growing waste stream are also discussed.

Effect of Temperature on the Hydrotreatment of Sewage Sludge-Derived Pyrolysis Oil and Behavior of Ni-Based Catalyst. Catalysts 2020.

Abstract
The high-energy potential of wastewater sewage sludge (SS) produced in large amounts around the world makes it an attractive feedstock for fuels and energy sectors. Thermochemical valorization relying on pyrolysis of SS followed by hydrotreatment of pyrolysis oil (Py-SS) might even allow the integration of SS into existing oil refineries. In the present study, catalytic hydrotreatment of Py-SS was performed over a NiCuMo-P-SiO2 catalyst in a batch reactor at temperatures in the range of 200–390 °C. Due to sulfur presence in the feed, the increasing reaction temperature induced in situ transformation of metallic Ni into Ni3S2 in the catalyst. In contrast, the Ni3P active phase possessed remarkable stability even at the harshest reaction conditions. The oxygen content in the reaction products was decreased by 59%, while up to 52% of N and 89% of S were removed at 390 °C. The content of free fatty acids was greatly reduced by their conversion to n-alkanes, while the larger amount of volatile aromatics was generated from high molecular mass compounds. The quality of oil-derived products greatly changed at elevated temperatures, providing strong evidence of effective upgrading via decarboxy(ny)lation, hydrogenation, and hydrocracking transformations.

Abstract
The experimental study of fast pyrolysis of dried sewage sludge in the retorting system with solid heat carrier was performed. The yield of the main pyrolysis products such as gas, oil, pyrogenic water, and solid residue (pyrolytic char) was measured in the 490-580 °C range. The maximum oil yield in an amount of 38.5 wt% on dry ash free basis was registered at a temperature of 550 °C. The gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) analysis of pyrolytic oil allows the identification of 58 hydrocarbons of different structures and different classes such as aliphatic, aromatic, oxygenated and nitrogen-containing compounds. The group composition of the obtained oil makes it possible to identify it as an analog of crude oil, which can be processed by standard technologies. The technological scheme of the facility for pyrolysis of sewage sludge based on the technology Galoter for the thermochemical processing of low-grade fuels was proposed with corresponding material and heat balance.
