The conversion of biomass by thermochemical means is very promising for the substitution of fossil materials in many … energy applications. Given the complexity of biomass the main challenge in its use is to obtain products with high yield and … purity. For a better understanding of biomass thermochemical conversion, many authors have studied in TG analyzer or at bed …

gasification of plant biomass with the objectives of enhanced heat transfer, faster kinetics, and increased thermal capacitance …

were investigated for RH (rice husks), WC (wood chips), and WP (wood pellets). When a higher pyrolysis temperature was used … pyrolysis temperature increased, the coal-band migrated toward that of coal. The number of DTG (differential thermogravimetric …) peaks decreased from two to one with an increase in pyrolysis temperature. When WP was blended with coal, the unprocessed …

Torrefaction processes of four kinds of biomass materials, including bamboo, willow, coconut shell and wood (Ficus … torrefaction on hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin contained in the biomass. Two different torrefaction processes, consisting of a … processes, the biomass could be divided into two groups; one was the relatively active biomass such as bamboo and willow, and …

Slow pyrolysis of eastern giant fennel (Ferula orientalis L.) stalks has been performed in a fixed-bed tubular reactor …-oils were determined by FT-IR and GC–MS. The effects of pyrolysis parameters such as temperature, catalyst and ratio of catalyst …

microturbine. The two most common types of solid waste are converted into liquids by liquefaction in polyhydric alcohols and by … pyrolysis to produce the novel fuels LW (liquefied wood) and TPO (tire pyrolysis oil). Baseline results were obtained with …

Thermochemical biomass conversion systems have the potential to produce heat, power, fuels and other products from … forest biomass at distributed scales that meet the needs of some forest industry facilities. However, many of these systems … have not been deployed in this sector and the products they produce from forest biomass have not been adequately described …

heat via fast pyrolysis of biomass. The energy and material flows for the fuel synthesis are calculated by process … raw biomass and 1.39MW electricity respectively (HHV basis). The results indicate an overall efficiency of 84% including … high-temperature heat and the biomass to bio-methane yield amounts to 83% after allocation of the biomass input to the …

Mineral matter in biomass influences nitrogen chemistry during pyrolysis. Amino acids, selected as the model compound … in biomass, were pyrolyzed with the major mineral matters in biomass (potassium, calcium and iron) at 800°C to … investigate the effect of mineral matter on the distribution of N-containing species from amino acid pyrolysis. HCN and NH3 were …
