The pyrolysis yields of rapeseed were investigated applying thermogravimetric analysis technique. The pyrolysis …, maximum rates of mass losses also increased. These variations were interpreted by the heterogeneous structure of biomass … biomass particles. However, increase in heating rate overcame these restrictions, and led to higher conversion rates. The …

data into the combustion model for both cases were generated using the FG-DVC pyrolysis model, which had been validated in …

Biomass in the form of pine wood was pyrolysed in an externally heated fluidised bed pyrolysis reactor with nitrogen as … the fluidising gas. A section of the freeboard of the reactor was packed with zeolite ZSM-5 catalyst. The pyrolysis oils …

. Torrefaction, pelletisation and pyrolysis technologies can convert biomass at modest scales into dense energy carriers that ease …

This study utilized microwave irradiation to induce torrefaction (mild pyrolysis) of rice husk and sugarcane residues … biomass. Proper microwave power levels are suggested to be set between 250 and 300W for the torrefaction of these two … over 10%). Moreover, the particle size of biomass needs not to be very small. The mass reduction ratios were 65wt.%, 69wt …

Biomass pyrolysis is usually characterized on the basis of temperature and heating rate. Unfortunately, these … of reacting biomass particles are the same as those of the external heating medium. The difficulties in defining these …

The paper reviews the pyrolysis of biomass constituents and possible secondary reactions. Biomass pyrolysis yields …

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 …
