Mono digestion of cashew peduncle is only possible up to an organic loading rate (OLR) of 3.0 kgVS/m3.day in a semi-continuous reactor. However digestion of cashew bagasse and cocoa pods were stable up to an OLR of 4.0 kgVS/m3.day. Using surface response models, the effect of process temperature, reaction time and heating rate on the yield, heating value and ash content of the hydrochar was studied. %L 333.7 %K Bioenergieerzeugung %K Nachhaltigkeit %K Kakaobohne %K Cashewnuss %K Resteverwertung %9 theses %9 Text %9 Hochschulschrift %R 10.18453/rosdok_id00002818 %U http://purl.uni-rostock.de/rosdok/id00002818 %U https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:28-rosdok_id00002818-2 %U https://d-nb.info/1293661449/34 %U https://doi.org/10.18453/rosdok_id00002818
