Biomass conversion to chemicals and fuels through fast pyrolysis shows great potential but
requires a more fundamental approach for its deployment. To this end, molecular-based …

In the context of the growing utilization of biomass to produce energy and of the related need
to decrease pollutant emissions from domestic wood combustion devices, this paper …

The vapor-phase reactions of nascent volatiles derived from the fast pyrolysis of lignin were
investigated both experimentally and numerically. Lignin residue after enzymatic hydrolysis …

In this study, we investigated current situation of biomass gasification plants in 5 cities (ca
Murayama City, Chichibu City, Ueno Village, Oshu City and Yamaguchi City) in Japan, and …

A numerical approach is presented for predicting the yields of char and volatile components
obtained from fast pyrolysis of three types of lignin (enzymatic hydrolysis lignin, EHL; organic …

This review presents the recent advances in computational approaches to understand
thermochemical reactions of solid fuels with minimized empirical factors. It includes studies …

Among the methods to reduce tar emission, the partial oxidation (POX) of biomass
gasification tars has been studied both experimentally at a pilot-scale and numerically. The …

The theoretical aspects of the development of a chemical kinetic model for guaiacol and
catechol pyrolysis are presented to describe the pyrolysis behaviors of the individual lignin …

In order to investigate the effects of temperature, residence time (RT) and methoxyl (OCH3)
on the product distribution and vapor phase reactions during pyrolysis of complex solid …

A new torrefaction model was proposed for predicting solid mass loss in torrefaction as a
function of biomass main macromolecular composition and type, as well as on the operating …
