  • Bio ethanol from sewage sludge: a bio fuel alternative 
    Manyuchi, Musaida Mercy; Chiutsi, Patience; Mbohwa, Charles; Muzenda, Edison; Mutusva, Trevor (Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Institution of Chemical Engineers, 2018-04-17)
    In this study, the potential to fully exploit sewage sludge as a raw material for bio ethanol a source of bio fuel is investigated. Sewage sludge hydrolysate was first made by introducing Bacillus flexus in order ...
  • Biomass torrefaction as an emerging technology to aid in energy production 
    Mamvura, Tirivaviri Augustine; Danha, Gwiranai (Elsevier Ltd, 2020-03)
    Biomass torrefaction has gained widespread attention due to its benefits as a standalone process to improve biomass properties to be at par or similar to those for coal in electricity generation or as a pretreatment step ...
  • Energy densification of animal waste lignocellulose biomass and raw biomass 
    Pahla, Godwell; Mamvura, Tirivaviri Augustine; Ntuli, Freeman; Muzenda, Edison (Institution of Chemical Engineers ,Published by Elsevier, 2017-06)
    The need to reduce carbon emissions has encouraged more research into use of biomass energy in place of coal. Biomass is carbon neutral; its use can therefore lower net emissions. Biomass can be upgraded to a fuel similar ...
  • Modeling a sustainable, self-energized Pine Dust Pyrolysis system with staged condensation for optimal recovery of bio-Oil 
    Charis, Gratitude; Danha, Gwiranai; Muzenda, Edison; Nhubu, Trust (Frontiers Media, 2021-02-04)
    This simulation study explores sustainable improvements that could be made to a pine dust pyrolysis system to eliminate total dependence on external electrical energy supply and improve the yield of high-quality dry bio-oil. ...
  • Optimizing yield and quality of bio-oil: a comparative study of Acacia tortilis and Pine dust 
    Charis, Gratitude; Danha, Gwiranai; Muzenda, Edison (MDPI (Basel, Switzerland), 2020-05)
    We collected pine dust and Acacia tortilis samples from Zimbabwe and Botswana, respectively. We then pyrolyzed them in a bench-scale plant under varying conditions. This investigation aimed to determine an optimum ...
  • A review of timber waste utilization: challenges and opportunities in Zimbabwe 
    Charis, Gratitude; Danha, Gwiranai; Muzenda, Edison (Elsevier B.V., 2019)
    This paper is a case study review of the timber waste problem and solutions that have been proffered in the Manicaland region of Zimbabwe. The study was conducted through primary data collected during site visits and a ...
  • Torrefaction of waste biomass for application in energy production in South Africa 
    Mamvura, Tirivaviri Augustine; Pahla, Godwell; Muzenda, Edison (Institution of Chemical Engineers ,Published by Elsevier, 2018-06)
    Power producing plants are major emitters of greenhouse gases that lead to global warming and climate changes. In the past two to three decades, attention has been drawn to organizations such as these reduce their dependence ...
