Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
A low-cost treatment of wet wastes generated by olive oil industry still remains a challenge for the industrial scale applications. In the concept of waste-to-energy, the hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is suggested as a low-cost valorization way for the wet wastes. In this study, the HTC process was used to obtain clean solid fuel from the wet waste of the two-phase olive mill system. Variation of the fuel properties and combustion performance of obtained solid fuel, hydrochar, with process conditions (temperature and duration) was investigated by carrying out proximate analysis, elemental analysis and thermal analysis. The lignite-like hydrochars having calorific value of 28.4–33.9 MJ/kg were obtained at the temperatures higher than 200 °C. The combustibility index (S) revealed that all obtained hydrochars were suitable solid fuels having reasonable combustion performance and short combustion time. Alkali index values of hydrochars predicted that their combustion in a boiler would be safe. The calculated net energy generation of process was found as 10.2–14.1 MJ/kg dry biomass.
