This review focuses on identifying recent advances in experimental techniques used to
probe gas-phase reactive/stable intermediates in fast pyrolysis (FP). Potential spectroscopic …

The nascent steps in the pyrolysis of the lignin components salicylaldehyde (o-
HOC6H4CHO) and catechol (o-HOC6H4OH) were studied in a set of heated microreactors …

Broadband microwave spectra over the 2–18 GHz range have been recorded for the
resonance-stabilized 2-furanyloxy radical, formed in the first step of pyrolysis of the second …

We report details of the design and operation of a single apparatus that combines Chirped-
Pulse Fourier Transform Microwave (CP-FTMW) spectroscopy with vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) …

Density profiles of flowing gases within an opaque, heated, silicon carbide (SiC) miniature
flow tube were measured, for the first time, by X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy using krypton …

The flash pyrolysis of trans 3-pentenenitrile (3-PN, CH3–CHCH–CH2–CN) was studied by
combining the results of VUV photoionization mass spectra with broadband microwave …

Chen nozzle experiments are used to study the early‐stage unimolecular decomposition of
larger molecules and, sometimes, the following chemistry. The nozzle itself is typically a …

The 2-furanyloxy radical is an important chemical reaction intermediate in the combustion of
biofuels and aromatic compounds. We report an investigation of its electronic and vibrational …

Abstract The use of Rio Red grapefruit processing waste (GPW) as a lignocellulosic
feedstock candidate for the production of value-added chemicals via fast pyrolysis was …

Biofuels remain an important renewable energy source in many sectors including
transportation. Implementation of biofuels introduces new challenges because their …
