Thermochemical processes, which include pyrolysis, torrefaction, gasification, combustion,
and hydrothermal conversions, are perceived to be more efficient in converting waste …

Biomass fast pyrolysis is potentially one of the cheapest routes toward renewable liquid
fuels. Its commercialization, however, poses a multi-scale challenge, which starts with the …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

Determining the status of the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process due to the
composition variations of MSW, operational differences of the MSWI plants, and …

A comprehensive one-dimensional model accounting for the effects of heat and mass
transfer, chemical kinetics, and drying was developed to describe the torrefaction of a single …

Recent advances in mathematical modelling and numerical analysis of the pyrolysis of char
forming solid fuels have shed new light on the pyrolytic behaviour of these materials under …

The present work deals with a study coupling experiments and modeling of charcoal
gasification by steam at large particle scale. A reliable set of experiments was first …

This paper presents a computational fluid dynamic analysis of a small-scale commercial
biomass pellet boiler. Combustion of the particles in the bed plays a key role in the analysis …

Biomass combustion is an important pathway of energy generation from renewable
resources. Even though biomass combustion is an established conversion process, there is …

The objective of this contribution is to describe thermal degradation of pistachio shells by a
detailed reaction mechanism. Pistachio shells are assumed to be composed of …
