This paper examines the feasibility of pyrolyzing the macroalgae sargassum, in a single-mode microwave cavity. Sargassum permittivities were measured and demonstrate the necessity of using a microwave absorber to help in reaching efficient pyrolysis. Silicon carbide, which is commonly used, and sargassum biochar, which has never been used before as a microwave absorber, were added […]

Biomass pyrolysis for oil production results in biochar byproduct, whose characteristics can be improved by the reuse of waste plastics. While the plastic recycling process leads to a large amount of plastic waste that cannot be reused, this underutilized feedstock holds the potential for coprocessing with biomass, thereby increasing the likelihood of producing valuable biochar […]

Abstract The current research focuses on assessing the potential of municipal solid waste (MSW) conversion into biofuel using pyrolysis process. The MSW samples were taken from Zaatari Syrian Refugee Camp. The physical and chemical characteristics of MSW were studied using proximate and elemental analysis. The results showed that moisture content of MSW is 32.3%, volatile […]
