DERIVATION OF VALUE-ADDED PRODUCTS FROM BIOMASS
BIOMASS WASTE POTENTIAL
AGRICULTURE
Crops Residue
Cotton Stalks
Rice Straw
Leaves
Cassava Roots
Fruit Peels
Rice Husks
Corn Cobs
Produce Biochar, Bio-oil, Syngas through thermochemical and biochemical conversion processes.
FORESTRY
Wood Shavings
Biomass pellets as fuel for burning
LIVESTOCK INDUSTRIES
Cattle manure
Compost
Increase soil fertility
Undergo anaerobic digestion of syngas for generation of electricity
[Methods for the Treatment of Cattle Manure]
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/333119292_Methods_for_the_Treatment_of_Cattle_Manure-A_Review
Undergo pyrolysis process to obtain biochar
Soil fertility
Poultry litter
Gasification
Produce fuel gas
(Gasification + fluidized bed result in intense uniform circular mixing of particles)
Pyrolysis
Fast pyrolysis
Fuel gas : Usually Bio-oil
Replace the use of fossil fuels
Little amount of char
Slow pyrolysis
Bio-oil
Hydrocracking of bio-oil to generate bio-diesel
Biochar
Can be used to increase soil fertility
Use as burning materials : Briquettes
Syngas
Use as fuel to generate fuel & electricity
Organic fertilizer
Drawbacks : high toxicity to animals and plants
also depreciation of the product when overused.

Softwood
Maize/Cassava/Cereals (starch)
Sugarcane/Sugar beet (sugar)
Crop Residues (Rice husk, straw)
Fermentation
Ethanol
Rapeseed/Soybean/Sunflower
Transesterification
Biodiesel
Municipal Solid Waste
Gasification
Syngas
CONVERSION PROCESS
THERMOCHEMICAL CONVERSION
Combustion
Burn in presence of air
800 - 1000°C
Moisture content of biomass <50%
Mechanical & electrical energy
Pyrolysis
Absence of O2
500°C
Produce bio-oil, charcoal, biofuel gases
Gasification
800 - 1000°C
Biomass ---> Flammable gases
Liquefaction
Low T : 250 - 350°C
High P : 100 - 200 bar
Involve catalyst
Obtain higher quality liquid yields
BIOCHEMICAL CONVERSION
Anaerobic Digestion
Organic material ---> Biogas (methane) + CO2 + H2S
Absence of oxygen
Fermentation
Anaerobically break down Glucose ---> ethanol
Yeast is added aids production of ethanol + CO2 from sugars
Distilled & Dehydrate Ethanol = automotive fuel
