Jagodzinska, Katarzyna published the artcileTorrefaction of wheat-barley straw: Composition and toxicity of torrefaction condensates, Product Details of C5H12O, the main research area is wheat barley straw chem composition torrefaction.
Until now, few studies on the valorisation of torrefaction condensable volatiles (condensates) have been performed. The composition and toxicity of torrefaction condensable volatiles determine their possible applications. Therefore, a study on the composition of wheat-barley straw torrefaction condensates, combined with toxicity tests, was performed. This anal. was mainly aimed at the utilization of these condensates as an anaerobic digestion substrate. The torrefaction process was performed in a batch-scale reactor at temperatures from 240°C to 320°C. The condensates were analyzed using GC/MS, and quant. anal. was based on the calibration curves (external standard method). Toxicity tests were performed for vascular plants (Lemna sp. Growth Inhibition Test), saltwater bacteria (Microtox bioassay) and freshwater crustaceans (Daphtoxkit F magna survival bioassay). The condensates were classified as highly toxic for the tested organisms. Compounds that are inhibitory and/or toxic to anaerobic bacteria were detected in the samples, e.g. furfural, guaiacol, palmitic acid and oleic acid. Taking into account the condensates’ high toxicity for the tested organisms and the presence of anaerobic digestion process inhibitors, there is a significant likelihood that prior detoxification of the condensates is necessary before they can be utilized as anaerobic digestion substrates.
