Alongside the development of pyrolysis processes aimed at converting solid biomass into
upgraded biofuels and biochemicals, interest has been growing in the analysis of the …

Due to the negative environmental impacts of fossil fuels and the increasing global energy
demands, biofuels are receiving increasing attention as the best short-term substitute for …

With increasing energy and resource consumption due to population growth, the biorefinery
concept is becoming popular. This concept aims to harness all the properties of biomass by …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant carbon source and it is a base of the whole
biorefinery concept. Levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose)(LG) is an anhydrous …

One of the main drawbacks of using biomass as pyrolysis feedstock consists of the huge
variability of the different biomass resources which undermines the viability of downstream …

Robust alternative technology choices are required in the paradigm shift from the current
crude oil-reliant transport fuel platform to a sustainable, more flexible transport infrastructure …

Fast pyrolysis experiments of pine wood have been performed in a continuously operated
mechanically stirred bed reactor at 500° C. The effects of the pine wood ash were studied by …

This work discloses how the pretreatment of wheat straw with acetic acid (AA) solutions
modifies the biomass composition, strongly affecting the pyrolysis product distribution. AA in …

The mechanism of fast pyrolysis of cellulose has been studied by using an analytical
pyrolyzer coupled with a gas chromatography–mass spectrometry set-up (Py-GC/MS). The …

To eliminate the negative impacts of inorganic constituents during biomass thermochemical
processes, leaching method by different diluted acid solutions was chosen. The different …
