Combustion tests of five date palm Tunisian residues, namely: Date Palm Leaflets (DPL), Date Palm Rachis (DPR), Date Palm Trunk (DPT), Date Stones (DS) and Fruit-stalk Prunings (FP), were performed in a laboratory scale furnace. Gaseous emissions such as CO2, CO, VOC, NOx and SO2, were analysed...

The oil extraction industry generates two by-products, an aqueous effluent, olive mill wastewater (OMWW) and a solid residue, olive mill solid waste (OMSW). OMWW is considered as the major pollutant in the Mediterranean area causing severe environmental threats. The main problem regarding the...

Date palm residues are an attractive source of biomass energy since they are renewable, abundantly available and do not compete with food crops. Pyrolysis and combustion may be efficient methods of exploiting energy from these biomass resources. The purpose of this research was to investigate...
