Thermal treatment in Australia is gaining interest due to legislative changes, waste reduction
goals, and the need to address contaminants' risks in biosolids used for agriculture. The …

Torrefied biomass is said to have potential as a replacement for coal. One of the main goals
of torrefaction is to make biomass resemble coal more in terms of its properties as a solid …

Biochar is rapidly gaining worldwide interest as an agro-technology for increasing soil
health and carbon storage. This study investigated the physicochemical characteristics and …

This paper presents experimental results obtained during combustion of raw and torrefied
PKS in a domestic scale boiler. The aim of the performed investigation was to assess if raw …

To make a beer there are four essential ingredients needed: water, malt, hops, and yeast.

This paper investigates the changes in reactivity and physicochemical characteristics of char
and tar produced from severe heat treatment in either inert or CO 2-rich atmospheres of a …

The objective of this study is the preliminary investigation of the feasibility of using a low-
temperature molten hydroxide direct carbon fuel cell as an additional energy source for steel …

Biomass char particles produced by pyrolysis may have different morphologies, which has
important implications on burning mode, conversion rate and boiler efficiency. These …

The gasification and torrefaction of sewage sludge have the potential to make the thermal
utilization of sewage sludge fully sustainable, thus limiting the use of expensive fossil fuels …

The present study investigates the influence of pressure on the products of fast pyrolysis of a
lignocellulosic biomass (Walnut Shells). Experiments were carried out using a special …
