Discharge of non-biodegradable plastic waste and lignocellulosic biomass into the
environment, and the resultant pollution has persistently increased all over the globe. This …

In recent years, microwave-assisted pyrolysis has gained prominence for solid waste
treatment and energy recovery due to its unique heating methods. Compared to …

Reaction kinetic parameters estimation of biomass pyrolysis is a relatively difficult
optimization problem due to the complexity of pyrolysis model. Two common heuristic …

The large variations found in literature for the activation energy values of main biomass
compounds (cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin) in pyrolysis TGA raise concerns regarding …

The air/steam gasification of wood sawdust (SD), plum and olive pits (PP, OP) bio-wastes
was studied using macro-thermogravimetric analysis at three heating rates (5, 10, 15 K/min) …

A hybrid optimization algorithm, combining both Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) and
Genetic Algorithm (GA), is proposed to gain the favorable features of each individual …

This study examined the non-isothermal kinetics of the slow pyrolysis of Imperata Cylindrica
(IC). Pyrolysis conditions were developed under the pure N 2 flow and non-isothermal …

Thermal induced pyrolysis and the following flaming ignition of solid combustible play
crucial roles in determining the occurrence of fire and the subsequent flame spread. This …

Pyrolysis kinetics and mechanisms of two biomass residues (SB1 and SB2) were assessed
by using thermogravimetric techniques. Physico-chemical, spectroscopic and TG/DTG …

The pyrolysis process of various types of biomass (agricultural and wood by-products) in
non-isothermal conditions using simultaneous thermal analyses (STA) was investigated …
