<i>Citrus limetta</i> fruit waste management by liquefaction using hydrogen-donor solvent
Sneha Acharya, Nanda Kishore
Abstract
pulp, when the feed biomass pulp-to-solvent ratio was 1 : 4, found to be the best outcome of this study. Biocrude and biochar have also been extremely characterized using several advanced techniques such as Gas Chromatography Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS), Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), and Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), etc. Finally, the novelty of this work is not only obtaining higher yield of biocrude but also better HHV compared to other similar studies in the literature.
