RISHydrothermal Carbonization of Crude Oil Tank Bottom Sludge for Energy Applications
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a promising technology for the conversion of waste biomass into an energy-dense coal-like product known as hydrochar. This study evaluated the application of HTC to generate a renewable ...
Utilizing Hydrothermal Carbonization for Sustainable Processing and Reuse of Oily Sludge
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is emerging as a promising technology for converting waste biomass into a dense coal-like product known as hydrochar. Oily sludge (OS), known for its toxic, carcinogenic, and mutagenic ...
