• Ethanol pulping as a stage in the bio-refinery of olive tree prunings 

      Requejo Silva, Ana; Rodríguez Pascual, Alejandro; González, Zoilo; Vargas González, Fátima; Jiménez, Luis (NC State University, 2012)
      Biomaterials from olive tree pruning are an abundant agricultural residue in various Mediterranean regions. A suggested use of this residue is its separation in a main fraction (trunks and stems with diameter > 1 cm) and ...
    • Reuse of ultrafiltration permeate as a preliminary step in the pulp and paper production 

      Serrano, Luis; Ferrer, Ana; Labidi, Jalel; Rodríguez, Alejandro (Academiei Romane, 2014)
      Permeate is a part of the stream generated in the ultrafiltration process. This stream could be utilized due to its composition in low molecular compounds. In this work, different combinations have been used to study the ...
    • Total use of olive tree prunings by means of hydrotermal and combustion processes 

      Requejo Silva, Ana; Feria, Manuel Javier; Vargas González, Fátima; Rodríguez Pascual, Alejandro (NC State University, 2012)
      The aim of this work is to chemically characterize olive tree prunings and use the material in hydrothermal and combustion processes. The influence of the hydrothermal treatment conditions, with and without acid catalyst, ...
