Potential Opportunity

There is a potential opportunity to convert almost any type of biomass into biofuel and bio- nanomaterials, if the appropriate biotechnological and chemical processing methods are used. The preference for this or that bioresource is due to the stability of the raw material base and the prospect of its use. Jerusalem artichoke stem (Helianthus tuberosus L.) (JA) is widely known as a potential non-food raw material for biofuels due to high biomass extraction (36–49 t/ha (tons per hectare)) and limited cultivation requirements. But little attention is given to study the possibility of using the stems to produce various kinds of cellulose. This article presents samples of cellulose that were obtained from the Jerusalem artichoke stem using mechanical and chemical methods. Cellulose yield from the stem was: cortex 51.1%, pith 65.2% with the α-cellulose content 96–98%. Methods of electron microscopy, atomic absorption, IR spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, BET for nitrogen adsorption, thermogravimetry were used to study the cortex and the pith of the Jerusalem artichoke stem. Analysis of the cellulose samples confirmed the possibility of obtaining high-quality cellulose.

An experimental program was carried out to investigate how to improve the characteristics of steel slag. Mainly the pretreatment methods of cooking and autoclave were used to detect such as free CaO content in the steel slag. The physical and chemical characteristics of steel slag were measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and fluorescence (XRF) analysis. The aim of improving the slag utilization is an important way to resolve large production problem, and then the research progress of steel slag utilization at home and abroad are recycled as raw material to be applied. By means of those ways to manage steel slag we have received the following conclusions: With the increase of cooking temperature the content of free CaO is gradually reduced. When temperature higher than 90oC the means could greatly reduce the free CaO content from about 7% wt. to less than 2.5% wt. in 3 h. By means of autoclave pressure upto 1.5MPa could greatly reduce the free CaO content from about 7% wt. to less than 3.2% wt. in 3 h. Through the study of the relevant of steel slag after pretreatment can effectively reduce the free CaO content in the steel slag, improving the stability of the steel slag is advantageous to the seven used in the construction field.

The purpose of this article is to perform research to improve the stability, quality and efficiency of gasoline-alcohol fuel compositions, as well as obtaining high-octane gasolines corresponding to the modern standards with the addition of alcohols and their mixtures to these gasolines. Research methods: The article considers physicochemical methods for studying the stratification of alcohol-gasoline mixtures, determining the water content in them, as well as determining the octane number of alcohol-gasoline compositions. Results: The raw material base and possibilities of bioethanol production in Ukraine as an ecological additive to gasoline and as a way to increase their octane number were studied. Stratification temperatures of alcohol-gasoline mixtures and octane numbers of A-92 gasoline with different alcohol content were determined. Discussion: It is proposed to use higher concentrations of ethanol (bioethanol) in gasoline mixtures more than 40% of alcohol, because it does not require dehydration. It is proposed to use an additional fuel pump, which would work only for mixing the fuel mixture, to prevent stratification of the fuel-ethanol composition during its long-term storage in the car’s tanks.

Chitin And Chitosan

Chitin and its derivative chitosan are among the most used polysaccharides for biomedical and pharmaceutical applications. Most of the commercially available chitin is obtained from seafood wastes. However, the interest in alternative renewable sources of chitin and chitosan, such as insects, is growing. When new sources are identified, their stability over time has to be evaluated to allow for their commercialization. The aim of this study is to compare the physicochemical properties of chitin extracted from Cicada orni sloughs harvested in three different years (2017, 2019 and 2020) in order to assess the stability of the source and the repeatability of the extraction process. Chitin and its derivative chitosan were characterized by simple techniques such as Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Results suggest that the physicochemical properties of the extracted chitin varied from year to year, and that these differences are not due to the extraction process, but rather to intrinsic differences within the source. We showed that these differences could already be detected by analyzing the raw material (i.e., cicada sloughs) using the above-mentioned simple methods. The chitosan obtained from deacetylation of chitin had a low degree of deacetylation (66.2±1.6%). This low degree of deacetylation can be attributed to the deacetylation process, which is probably not appropriate for this source of chitin.

AbstractIn the paper spent coffee grounds were used as a precursor to obtain activated carbons. The raw material was impregnated with phosphoric acid(V) at the different impregnations ratios: 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2. Carbonization was carried out according to two procedures differing in activation atmosphere (N2 or CO2). The obtained activated carbons were characterized on the basis of low-temperature nitrogen adsorption/desorption, thermal analysis, potentiometric titration method, X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Carbons obtained according to procedure 2 (activation in CO2) were characterized by better developed porosity, e.g. surface (SBET to 720.9 m2/g) and pore volume (Vp to 0.334 cm3/g). All obtained carbons had surface acidic (mainly carboxyl) groups and exhibited the amorphous structure. The thermal analysis showed that the obtained materials were thermally stable up to the temperature ~ 420 °C.

Graphene (G) has been attracted great interest for its excellent electrical properties. However, the large-scale production of graphene is presently unfeasible. Graphene oxide (GO) can be (partly) reduced to graphene-like sheets by removing the oxygen-containing groups with the recovery of a conjugated structure. It can be produced using inexpensive graphite as raw material by cost-effective chemical methods. Although hydrogen (mixed with argon) at high temperature (1100°C) has been employed to reduce GO powder, the hydrogenation disproportionation desorption and recombination (HDDR) process in particular was unreported for this purpose. In the present work, attempts of reducing GO powder using the HDDR process have been carried out and investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The experimental results of processing graphene oxide powder using unmixed hydrogen at moderate temperatures (about 850°C) and relatively low pressures (<2 bars) have been reported.
