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 …

This unique handbook presents both the theory and application of biomass combustion and
co-firing, from basic principles to industrial combustion and environmental impact, in a clear …

This review considers the pollutants formed by the combustion of solid biomass fuels. The
availability and potential use of solid biofuels is first discussed. This is followed by the …

Since biomass is the only carbon-based renewable fuel, its application becomes more and
more important for climate protection. Among the thermochemical conversion technologies …

A one-dimensional stationary model of biomass gasification in a fixed bed downdraft gasifier
is presented in this paper. The model is based on the mass and energy conservation …

This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art of numerical models used for thermochemical
degradation and combustion of thermally thick woody biomass particles. The focus is on the …

Straw is being used as main renewable energy source in grate boilers in Denmark. For
optimizing operating conditions and design parameters, a one-dimensional unsteady …

Biomass is one of the important renewable energy sources. Biomass fuels exhibit a range of
chemical and physical properties, particularly size and shape. Investigations of the behavior …

Exploiting biomass energy is a promising option to reduce CO 2 emissions, owing to its
renewability and carbon neutrality. The knowledge of biomass ignition becomes critical for …
