CARBIOW project has already published its fourth research article!!
Entitled ‘Wet torrefaction of biomass waste into high-quality hydrochar and value-added liquid products using different zeolite catalysts‘, the study is featured in Elsevier’s Renewable Energy International Journal (Volume 227, June 2024), and is available as Open Access.
The article is written by Andrii Kostyniuk and Blaž Likozar, our colleagues from Kemijski inštitut – National Institute of Chemistry, and it introduces a novel approach for producing ethanol, levulinic acid (LA), and high-quality hydrochar from wood cellulose pulp residue (WCPR) via wet torrefaction (WT) facilitated by various zeolite acid catalysts.
“The aim was to comprehensively assess the influence of these catalysts and reaction conditions on hydrochar properties and liquid product distribution”, states the article.
