In the present work, experimentation was carried out to study the behavior of exhausted grape marc during the bio-drying process. This process was chosen as an alternative to the typical grape marc thermal drying approach. The aim was to reduce the moisture level thanks to the biological exothermal reactions, and to increase the energy content in the biodried grape marc. The target was the generation of a product interesting for energy options. For the development of the research, a biological pilot reactor and a respirometric apparatus were used. Results demonstrated that bio-drying can decrease the water content saving the original energy content. The final material could be assumed like a solid recovered fuel, class 5:1:1 with a very low potential rate of microbial self-heating.

This research proposes an Elliot-based Extreme Learning Machine approach for industrial thermal processes regression. The main contribution of this paper is to propose an Extreme Learning Machine model with Elliot and Symmetric Elliot activation functions that will look for the fittest number of neurons in the hidden layer. The methodological proposal is tested on an industrial thermal drying process. The thermal drying process is relevant in many industrial processes such as the food industry, biofuels production, detergents and dyes in powder production, pharmaceutical industry, reprography applications, textile industries and others. The methodological proposal of this paper outperforms the following techniques: Linear Regression, k-Nearest Neighbours regression, Regression Trees, Random Forest and Support Vector Regression. In addition, all the experiments have been benchmarked using four error measurements (MAE, MSE, MEADE, R 2 ).

To improve the controllability of the fabrication of carbon aerogels, the effects of the concentration of the reactant (RF%) on the structural properties of organic resorcinol formaldehyde (RF) gel and the effects of the carbonization temperature on nanostructure of carbon aerogels were discussed. The concentration of the reaction was turned from 5%,10%,20%,30%,40%,50%,55% and 60% to prepare the samples. The RF aerogels were carbonized at temperature of 700, 900 and 1050. The shrinkage and nitrogen gas adsorption were measured. Experimental results showed that the structural stability of the organic RF aerogel can be improved by decreasing the shrink in drying process and increasing the condensation of reactant in the starting solution to a certain value, such as 55%. The ordered pore size distribution of carbon aerogels with less structure defects is able to be produced through the effective particle fusing at the carbonization temperature as high as 1050.

Aluminum sulphate (alum, Al2(SO4)3·nH2O) has successfully been used to reduce ammonia loss from poultry litter, cattle feedlots and manure composting, but has not yet been utilized in the thermal drying process of digestate solids. The objectives of the present study were to evaluate the effects of alum addition on ammonium nitrogen (NH4+-N) content and phosphorus (P) solubility in dried digestate solids in comparison to the addition of concentrated sulfuric acid (H2SO4). Manure-based (MDS) and sewage sludge-based (SDS) digestate solids were chosen to conduct a drying experiment at four pH levels (original pH, 8.0, 7.5 and 6.5) and using two acidifying agents (alum, concentrated H2SO4). Alum addition increased the final NH4+-N content significantly from 1.4 mg g−1 in the non-acidified control up to 18 mg g−1 and 10.8 mg g−1 in dried MDS and SDS, respectively, which were higher levels than obtained with the addition of concentrated H2SO4. Moreover, alum considerably lowered the water extractable phosphorus (WEP) in raw and dried SDS by 37–83% and 48–72%, respectively, compared with the non-treated control. In contrast, concentrated H2SO4 notably increased WEP in raw and dried MDS by 18–103% and 29–225%, respectively. The comparison between the two acidifying agents indicated that alum had the potential to be an efficient and easy-handling alternative to concentrated sulfuric acid, resulting in higher NH4+-N content and lower P solubility.
