Aqueous phase pyrolytic oil is generally considered less important and often discarded as a pyrolysis by-product due to lack of specific applications. Although, recent studies have proposed production of hydrogen via catalytic aqueous and steam reforming from this stream, however, these processes require complex system. Imidazole is one of the major components of aqueous phase pyrolytic oil which can be converted into different products. This study presents a new valorisation strategy of aqueous phase pyrolytic oil into renewable ionic liquid through simulation. A steady state process simulation for recovery of imidazole from aqueous phase pyrolytic oil and subsequent conversion into ionic liquid was developed using ASPEN HYSYS V10 ®. Effects of different operating variables such as feed flow rate, composition and temperature on the imidazole recovery, ionic liquid yield and composition were investigated. The simulation results revealed that high yield of renewable ionic liquid with physicochemical properties comparable to that of commercially available ionic liquids can be produced from aqueous phase pyrolytic oil. This product can be utilised for biomass refining since ionic liquid have been reported to selectively remove hemicellulose and lignin in many biomass related applications such as pre-treatment and characterization.

In this study, the performance of different acid treated Myanmar Natural Clay (Mabisian) was conducted the pyrolysis of mixed plastic wastes, 40% high density polyethylene, 30% polypropylene, 25% low density polyethylene and 5% polystyrene. Mabisian clay was refluxed with different concentration of nitric acid (2M, 4M, 6M, 8M, 10M, 12M and 14M)  at 100ºC for 3hrs followed by calcination at 500ºC for 1hr. The physico-chemical characteristics of resulted leached clay were studied by X-Ray Fluoresence spectroscopy (XRF), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR). The pyrolytic oil was characterized by Gas Chromatography – mass spectopy (GC-MS). XRF and FTIR studies indicated that acid treatment under reflux condition lead to the removal of octahedral Al3+ cations along with other impurities.  The chemical treatment increased the Si/Al ratio.  The maximum liquid yield (75%) was obtained at 12 M nitric acid, 3hr reaction time and 100 º C reaction temperatures. In addition, the percent peak area of gasoline range hydrocarbon was obtained 55.6% at optimum condition. Thus, the treated clay can be used as promising as catalyst support.

The use of hydrogen (H2) as a fuel offers enhanced energy conversion efficiency and tremendous potential to decrease greenhouse gas emissions, but producing it in a distributed, carbon-neutral, low-cost manner requires new technologies. Herein we demonstrate the complete conversion of glucose and xylose from plant biomass to H2 and CO2 based on an in vitro synthetic enzymatic pathway. Glucose and xylose were simultaneously converted to H2 with a yield of two H2 per carbon, the maximum possible yield. Parameters of a nonlinear kinetic model were fitted with experimental data using a genetic algorithm, and a global sensitivity analysis was used to identify the enzymes that have the greatest impact on reaction rate and yield. After optimizing enzyme loadings using this model, volumetric H2 productivity was increased 3-fold to 32 mmol H2⋅L−1⋅h−1. The productivity was further enhanced to 54 mmol H2⋅L−1⋅h−1 by increasing reaction temperature, substrate, and enzyme concentrations—an increase of 67-fold compared with the initial studies using this method. The production of hydrogen from locally produced biomass is a promising means to achieve global green energy production.
