Optimization of the conventional hydrothermal carbonization to produce hydrochar from fish waste

摘要: Fish waste disposal is a major cause for concern the seafood processing industries. generates enormous quantities of as almost 45% live weight fish regarded waste. Current ways managing involves dumping in oceans, landfills, or treating them with already established strategies. Dumping these wastes without any form treatment far from being environmental friendly. utilization strategies suffer disadvantages such incomplete solid and liquid generation new effluents that needs further processing. Therefore, there need to find an alternate/supplemental method utilization. Previously, we have reported use microwave hydrothermal carbonization (MHTC) carbonize hydrochar. Here, conventional heating custom autoclave reactor could also be used Upon response surface design optimization, it was found maximal yield hydrochar (~ 35%) can achieved at holding temperature 180 °C time 120 min. We characterized elemental, proximate, energy, properties produced by (CHTC). It quality MHTC largely comparable CHTC. This proves HTC employed generate energy non-lignocellulosic while getting rid eco-friendly manner.
