Self-sustained smouldering combustion presents strong potential as a green waste-to-
energy technique for a range of wastes, especially those with high moisture content like …

Modelling oxygen-limited and self-sustained smoldering propagation is of significance for
prevention of fire hazards and optimization of applied systems. However, two issues remain …

Smoldering combustion applications in energy and environmental fields have attracted
increasing research attention in recent years. Smoldering has demonstrated considerable …

This study proposed a novel smoldering-driven reactor for plastic waste (PW) pyrolysis. The
heat from self-sustaining smoldering was used to pyrolyze PW to produce oil and gas, a …

Applied smouldering systems are gaining popularity for a variety of energy conversion
applications. Radial heat loss plays a crucial role in these systems, as they cause multi …

The article provides state-of-the-art research on agglomeration processes during fixed-bed
combustion and gasification of low-grade fuels such as biomass and waste (primarily plastic …

Smouldering combustion is emerging as a valuable application for many environmentally
beneficial purposes, including waste-to-energy. While many applied smouldering systems …

Smouldering combustion has been demonstrated to be a highly energy efficient approach
towards waste-to-energy. The benefits of smouldering are principally due to the matching of …
