Biochar always suffers from low porosity and/or poor surface functionality, which limit its
performances. Among various surface engineering strategies, air oxidation favors both pore …

Minimizing carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from the combustion of solid biofuels is
essential to improve thermo-chemical conversion efficiencies and avoid impact on human …

The co-gasification of refuse derived fuel (RDF) and biomass is a promising technology for
environmentally friendly municipal solid waste (MSW) utilization. Herein, we investigated the …

Hydrochar from hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) of municipal sludge is often seen as waste.
Initially, acidic leaching has been performed on hydrochar to recover phosphorus. This study …

The combustion behaviors of sewage sludge (SS), pulverized coal (PC), and their blends
were studied using a thermogravimetric analyzer. The effect of the mass ratio of SS to PC on …

A large amount of alkali and alkaline earth metal species (AAEMs) are contained in sewage
sludge (SS) ash, which will affect the combustion characteristics and synergistic effects of …

A novel approach for upgrading the pore volume of biochar at low temperatures using a
green additive of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO 3) is developed in this study. The biochar …

Biomass consists of predominantly a biochemical mixture of three major lignocellulosic
components: hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin. The amounts of these three major …

Alkali and alkaline earth metal (AAEM) species are the main components of the ash of
biomass, and which would influence the combustion of biomass and coal during the co-firing …

Coal gasification fine ash (CGFA) is difficult to handle, which makes its effective utilization
difficult. This study modified a typical CGFA sample, referred to as dry ash (DA), by using a …
