New biosorbents from waste materials modified by green solvents for the purification of gaseous fuel streams.

Waste and its proper management are currently one of the greatest challenges of the modern world. Inappropriate waste management contributes to climate change and air pollution and directly affects many ecosystems and species. Landfills release methane, which is a powerful greenhouse gas contributing to climate change, as well as carbon dioxide and a wide variety of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Landfill gas can be converted into valuable biomethane and used as a fuel for energy production or as a transport fuel. Biogas requires the use of an appropriate method of effective biogas purification. To date, many works on the removal of carbon dioxide and other inorganic impurities from biogas have been published, but little attention has been paid to the removal of VOCs, which have the greatest impact on the biogas quality. The appropriate treatment method should not only be selective and effective but also meet all green engineering standards. Therefore, the aim of the project is to manage bio-waste and transform it into valuable biosorbents for the treatment of biogas streams. Moreover, the project includes the modification of biosorbents with the use of green solvents.

Agri-food waste biosorbents for volatile organic compounds removal from air and industrial gases – A review
Publication
- SCIENCE OF THE TOTAL ENVIRONMENT - Year 2024
Approximately 1.3 billion metric tons of agricultural and food waste is produced annually, highlighting the need for appropriate processing and management strategies. This paper provides an exhaustive overview of the utilization of agri-food waste as a biosorbents for the elimination of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from gaseous streams. The review paper underscores the critical role of waste management in the context of a...

Lignocellulosic waste biosorbents infused with deep eutectic solvents for biogas desulfurization
Publication
- CHEMICAL ENGINEERING JOURNAL - Year 2024
This paper introduces an innovative method for treating biogas streams, employing lignocellulosic biosorbents infused with environmentally friendly solvents known as deep eutectic solvents (DES). The primary focus of this study was the elimination of volatile organosulfur compounds (VSCs) from model biogas. Biosorbents, including energetic poplar wood, antipka tree, corncobs, and beech wood, were used, each with varying levels...

- TRAC-TRENDS IN ANALYTICAL CHEMISTRY - Year 2024
In recent years, considerable attention has been directed towards the employment of green solvents, specifically deep eutectic solvents (DES), in liquid phase microextraction techniques. However, comprehensive and organized knowledge regarding the modification of sorbent surface structures with DES remains limited. Therefore, this paper reviews the application of DES in modifying and improving the properties of sorbents for microextraction...

VOCs absorption from gas streams using deep eutectic solvents – A review
Publication
- P. Makoś-Chełstowska
- JOURNAL OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS - Year 2023
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are one of the most severe atmospheric pollutants. They are mainly emitted into the atmosphere from anthropogenic sources such as automobile exhaust, incomplete fuel combustion, and various industrial processes. VOCs not only cause hazards to human health or the environment but also adversely affect industrial installation components due to their specific properties, i.e., corrosive and reactivity....
