Comprehensive Utilization of Processed
Residues of Industrial Oil Plants
Jiangshan Ma, Bing Pi, and Peiwang Li
Abstract As kinds of renewable resources, industrial oil plants have been widely
exploited for industrial applications. With the increasing development of the processing of the industrial oil plants, a large amount of the processed residues accounted
for 70% of industrial oil plants were produced. It is critical to promote the economic sustainability of the industrial oil plant industry by improving the utilization
value of the resources of the processed residues. In this chapter, we firstly introduced
the different functions of the processed residues. Then, the advances of comprehensive utilization of processed residues from industrial oil plants were summarized.
Furthermore, the prospects and the challenges of the utilization of the processed
residues from industrial oil plants were discussed.

10.1 Introduction
Industrial oil plants are a category of oil plants that produce oil-based energy, chemical and material products and are a major part of forestry resources. Since the fruits
of some industrial oil plants are toxic or some are inedible, they are mainly used
as raw materials in industrial productions, such as biodiesel, bio-lubricants, biofuels, and chemical products by corresponding conversion technologies. In addition,
their pruned or thinned stems can also be used directly for the transformation of
solid or gaseous fuels [1, 2]. On the one hand, as the plant grows, solar energy is
captured efficiently, biomass raw materials are synthesized and oxygen is released,
