Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesCharacterization of Solid Residues Obtained from Supercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine ManureRui Li, Bo Zhang, Shuangning Xiu et al.Animal wastes are considered as renewable energy resources, which contain a great energy potential. For this study, swine manure was treated with supercritical ethanol within the reaction temperature range of 240-360°C to produce bio-oil, resulting in a significant amount of solid residues. Solid residues were characterized by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR), Scanning Electron Microscopic (SEM), surface area, elemental and … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 8, Issue 4 · 15 Jul 2015 · 7,696 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the author namesSupercritical Ethanol Liquefaction of Swine Manure for Bio-Oils ProductionShuangning Xiu, Abolghasem Shahbazi, Lijun Wang, Carlington W. WallaceProblem statement: Environmental problems associated with animal waste are the most critical challenges faced by the US intensive confinement livestock industries. There is an import and urgent need to develop an efficient way to reduce the pollution of animal waste while extracting valuable energy. Supercritical liquefaction processing of swine manure into a liquid fuel was considered as a cost-effective approach … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 2 · 30 Jun 2010 · 8,253 accessesView PDF Cite
