CASHEW NUT SHELLS
- General information: Cashew nut shells are one of the most abundant forms of tropical biomass waste which can be used for energy generation. The cashew nut tree grows both naturally and through planned agricultural practices in subtropical countries. The cashew comprises of approximately 30% nut and 70% shell. While the nut is eaten throughout the world, the Cashew nut shells is very hard, with a thickness of 1 to 2mm is commonly discarded. Cashew shells typically contain: 10.8% water and 2.6% ash. Cashews shells have a net calorific value of 18.9 MJ/kg, placing them right in the middle of the biomass fuel mean range (14 - 21 MJ/kg)

- Abstract: Cashew nut shells are agro-wastes produced from cashew nut processing factories and contain about 30–35 wt% oil called cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL). This liquid is a mixture of four potential compounds, namely anacardic acid, cardanol, cardol and 2-methyl cardol. Various reactions have been developed to convert the components of cashew nut shell liquid into industrially important chemicals, and these materials are herein described. Such reactions employed in the transformation include transfer hydrogenation reactions, isomerization reactions, metathesis reactions, carbonylation reactions, polymerization reactions, isomerizing metathesis reaction, and isomerizing carbonylation reactions. Through these descriptions, one realizes that cashew nut shells are not a waste, but they are rather a good source of a potential liquid, CNSL, which is a promising renewable resource for synthesizing various industrial chemicals.
