Activated carbon with a high adsorption capacity for the removal of organic compounds from aqueous solutions was made from phosphoric acid-activated peanut shells. Adsorption isotherms for the uptake of phenol, iodine, ...

The current world-wide energetic situation implies in researches about new resources and technologies capable of producing biofuels, such as the peanut processing residues. To design operations associated to bioethanol ...

Copyrolysis of peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shells and cassava (Manihot esculenta) starch using mixtures of different proportions was examined to improve yield of the bio-oil and its quality. Pyrolysis of the individual ...

Pyrolysis of acid pretreated peanut (Arachis hypogaea) shells was examined in order to improve the yield of liquids (bio-oils) and the characteristics of the three kinds of pyrolysis products. Also, pyrolysis of the pristine ...

Peanuts are likely to be infested by fungi with consequent contamination by aflatoxin in post-harvest industries. A hazard analysis critical control point (HACCP) plan is proposed for a typical Brazilian post-harvest ...
