New trends in hydrothermal gasification and carbonization
A Study on Recirculating Process Water from Hydrothermal Carbonisation of Spent Brewing Grains: Impact on Hydrochar Chaacterisation and Process Water Composition
Short Introductive summary
This study explores the feasibility of recycling process water from the hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) of spent brewing grains to enhance sustainability. By recirculating the process water into a second HTC reaction, the research evaluates its impact on hydrochar yield, physicochemical properties, and the composition of the resulting process water. Results show that recirculation maintains hydrochar quality while altering the chemical profile of the process water, supporting a circular approach to HTC that reduces waste and improves commercial viability.
