Thermochemical processes, which include pyrolysis, torrefaction, gasification, combustion,
and hydrothermal conversions, are perceived to be more efficient in converting waste …

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) has been widely used in both scientific studies and
industrial applications of reactor-scale biomass pyrolysis. In this Perspective, the state-of-the …

Plasma gasification of raw and torrefied woody, non-woody, and algal biomass using three
different gasifying agents (air, steam, and CO 2) is conducted through a thermodynamic …

The influence of torrefaction on the physicochemical characteristics of char during raw and
water washed rice straw pyrolysis at 800–1200° C is investigated. Pore structure, aromaticity …

Abstract A CFD-DEM model already developed by the authors has been extended to directly
compare the gasification performances between raw and torrefied grassy biomasses in an …

Abstract Biomass (pellets, briquettes, logs) are a key contributor to many countries'
strategies for decarbonising heat, particularly in domestic applications. The emissions from …

A three-dimensional finite element model for the pyrolysis of a centimeter-sized biomass
particle was developed by coupling the transport phenomena and the kinetic reactions …

A thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA), a fluidized bed reactor (FBR) and a drop tube reactor
(DTR) are used to study the effect of reactor type, heating rate and temperature on the …

In this work, the combustion performance of Chlorella vulgaris (CV), Dunaliella salina (DS),
and Haematococcus pluvialis (HP) algal biochars was analyzed based on the …

The increasing interest in gasification and oxy-fuel combustion of biomass has heightened
the need for a detailed understanding of char gasification in industrially relevant …
