Effect of cellulose and lignin content on pyrolysis and combustion characteristics for several types of biomass

Gani, Asri; Naruse, Ichiro - In: Renewable Energy 32 (2007) 4, pp. 649-661

Fundamental pyrolysis and combustion behaviors for several types of biomass are tested by a thermo-gravimetric analyzer … decomposition. At the second stage, lignin decomposed for pyrolysis and its char burned for combustion. For the biomass with higher … cellulose content, the pyrolysis rate became faster. While, the biomass with higher lignin content gave slower pyrolysis rate …
