17
Q

biochemical

A

fermentation & digestion process
favour high moisture

18
Q

thermal

A

combustion,gasification,pyrolysis process
only accept low moisture

19
Q

mineral matter content

A
  • naturally present/ chemically contaminated from industry process
20
Q

mineral matter content constituent

A

Si, Ca, K, Na & Mg with small amont of S, P, Fe, Mn & Al

21
Q

Organic matter (C,H,N,S,O) can be determine through:

2 ways

carbon, hyrogen, nitrogen, sulfur, oxygen

A
  1. proximate analysis
  2. ultimate analysis (C,H,N,S,O)
22
Q

proximate analysis

A
  • heating biomass in inert atmosphere up to 950°C
  • fixed carbon content = mass of residue left after heating biomass
  • eg instrument: TGA
23
Q

ultimate analysis (C,H,N,S,O)

A
  • involve complete & instantaneous oxidation of sample by “flash combustion” then produce NO2, CO2, SO2, H2O
  • use specific calibration to determine quantity (C,H,N,S,O)
24
Q

why determine organic matter important

A
  • N & S =determine enviromental quality. high N & S = unfavorable (produce acidic gas)
  • C & H = determine calorific value & biofuel conversion potential
  • O =associate with losses and greater CO2 emission
25
Q

physical properties

physical density

A

low density make transportation costly

eg, low density ( bulu pelepah) senang terbang bila transport susah and mahal

26
Q

ways to increase density

2 ways

A
  1. physical process (compaction)
  2. thermal process (torrefaction)
27
Q

category of technologies for biomass processing

3 categories

A
  1. thermochemical processing
  2. biochemical processing
  3. physiochemical processing
28
Q

thermochemical processing

4 types

35
Q

anaerobic digestion

A
  • biogas
  • digestate
36
Q

type generation of biofuels

4 generation

A
  1. 1st gen (food related source)
  2. 2nd gen (non-food related source)
  3. 3rd gen (microalgae)
  4. 4rt gen (genetically modified microalgae)
37
Q

1st gen (food related source)

A
  • feedstock of higher saccharide & lipid content
  • poses adverse on food security
  • require cultivable land for feedstock generation
  • -ive impact on environment due to fertilizer&pesticide
  • feedstock growth depend largely on environmental factor (temp,humidity etc.)
38
Q

2nd gen (non-food related source)

A
  • no impact on food security
  • no impact on biodiversity
  • feedstock growth depend on environmental factor
39
Q

3rd gen (microalgae)

A
  • no impact on food security
  • no impact on biodiversity
  • can be cultivate in soil unsuitable for agriculture purpose using waste water
  • feedstock can grow on rough condition
  • comercial production not yet in place (in research)
40
Q

4rt gen (genetically modified microalgae)

A
  • no impact on food security
  • no impact on biodiversity
  • feedstock can grow on rough condition
  • aim for overall life cycle of carbon footprint is negative
  • technology in early development
