Gas-solid fluidized beds have drawn the attention of engineers and researchers as an
effective technology for a large variety of applications, and numerical simulations can play …

Nowadays, gasification is seen as a worldwide settled technique for sustainably generating
energy from residues. Its final product is a synthetic gas which may be used for several …

The increase in production and consumption of goods has generated a surplus of waste,
which destination is commonly the landfilling sites. This represents a major bottleneck in the …

The current study investigates the short rotation coppice (SRC) gasification in a bubbling
fluidized bed gasifier (BFBG) with air as gasifying medium. The thermochemical processes …

The plasma gasification process is one of the newest and most innovative approaches to
meet the needs of waste management but requires assessment and research on operational …

Plasma gasification is considered an emerging technology within the so-called waste-to-
energy technologies. The pure equilibrium models have been failing to estimate the …

The air gasification of Palm Kernel Shells (PKS) using coal bottom ash (CBA) as a catalyst
has been performed in a fixed-bed gasifier. The impact of three process parameters, namely …

Biomass gasification is realized as a settled process to produce energy in a sustainable
form, between all the biomass-based energy generation routes. Consequently, there are a …

This paper addresses the techno-economic, energetic and environmental assessment of the
indirect and direct production of bioenergy using Pinus patula (PP) as raw material. Ethanol …

Alentejo is an extensive Portuguese region dominated by agroforestry and agro-industrial
activities that generate significant amounts of biomass waste. These wastes are potential …
