SUMMARYPot and field experiments were conducted at the Faculty of Agriculture Arable Crops Farm, Kumasi, Ghana during the major rainy season to compare the agronomic efficiency of potassium in cocoa pod ash with that of muriate of potash and to determine the optimum rate of application of cocoa pod ash to maize (Zea mays L. cv. La Posta). Results from the two experiments indicated that the application of 90 kg N/ha and 67 kg P2 O5/ha did not increase shoot dry matter (DM) yield over the control. However, significant increases in DM yield over the control were obtained when N and P were applied

Abstract:

This research aims to compare the characteristics of briquettes as an energy source produced from coffee shell waste and cocoa waste. The briquette-making process involves carbonization to produce charcoal as the primary raw material for briquettes. Carbonization time varies, influenced by the type of waste and size of the material. After that, the charcoal is reduced and sifted into fine and coarse powder. Briquette molding uses pressure using a pipe as a mold. The characteristics of briquettes are analyzed through water content, density, burning rate, and ash content. The research results sh

Abstract:

Cocoa beans are found inside an outer husk; 60% of the cocoa fruit is the outer husk, which is a waste biomass. The husk cannot be used directly as a soil amendment as it promotes the fungal black pod disease, which reduces crop yield. The pods are segregated from the trees, and their plant nutrient value is wasted. This is particularly true for the small acreage farmers in West Africa. Cocoa pod husk is well suited to be used as a biomass source for electricity production. The waste ash is rich in potassium, which can be converted in various chemical products, most notably, high-purity potass

Environmental pollution is responsible for Green House Gas emission (GHG) and climate change hence, replacing fossil fuel with bio-based materials (Renewable feedstock) is currently been embraced so as to mitigate carbon emission. About 170 billion tons of biomass is generated yearly and approximately 5.95 billion are utilized. Hence, this paper examines the use of Renewable energy and Renewable feedstock (Biomass). Newly developed heterogeneous catalysts were developed from waste agricultural residues. Caustic potash was extracted from the ash samples of Cocoa pod husk (<em>Theobroma cacao</e

Application of solid catalysts synthesized from agricultural wastes provides an environmentally benign and low-cost process path to synthesize biodiesel. An ash containing an equal mixture of cocoa pod husk, plantain peel and kola nut pod husk ashes (CPK) was obtained by open combustion of each of the biomass in air and calcined at 500 °C for 4 h. The calcined CPK ash was characterized to determine its catalytic potential. Two-level transesterification technique was used to synthesize biodiesel using the developed catalyst. The process parameters involved were optimized for the microwave-aided

Abstract Environmental pollution, depletion of fossil fuels, and a significant rise in the human population are contributing to an increase in the greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. Addressing these challenges necessitates the production of clean, low-carbon emission, and sustainable bioenergy, such as briquettes, which can significantly contribute to knowledge and innovation. To assess the effectiveness of briquettes, their characteristics need to be tested using proximate analysis. In examining the characteristics of briquettes, the average moisture content of coconut dreg charcoal and tea re

Biochar was applied 21 days before cultivating the rice for 120 days, followed by soil sampling and rice harvesting for metals and physicochemical analyses. Compared to the untreated soils, biochar treatments exhibited an enhancement in soil quality, characterised by an increase in pH of 1

Abstract:

Cocoa pod husk (CPH) was pyrolyzed at 500°C to produce biochar (CPHB) for sorption of lead (Pb) from aqueous system. Chemical characterization for CPHB was conducted using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, Boehm titration and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) spectroscopy. Sorption parameters for CPHB (i.e., sorbent dosage, pH, contact time, and Pb concentration) were optimized. Elemental compositions for CPHB are C (66% w/w), O (19% w/w), and N (2% w/w). The ash of CPHB consists of calcium oxide (CaO) (4.6% w/w) and potassium oxide (K2O) (4.2% w/w), with negligible amount of heavy metals

Abstract:

To mitigate the emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs) from fossil fuels, the use of biodiesel and its sustainable production have been receiving more attention over the past decade, especially for the reuse of waste cooking oils and non-edible oils as starting feedstocks. For the biodiesel production process, the suitability of a green catalyst is a core function in the transesterification reaction. Heterogeneous (solid-state) catalysts are generally superior to homogeneous (liquid-state) catalysts due to several significant advantages such as no saponification products formed, recyclability, a
