Fire transforms fuels (ie biomass, necromass, soil organic matter) into materials with different
chemical and physical properties. One of these materials is ash, which is the particulate …

Coarse woody debris serves many functions in forest ecosystem processes and has
important implications for fire management as it affects air quality, soil heating and carbon …

Smouldering is the slow, low-temperature, flameless form of combustion of a condensed
fuel. It poses safety and environmental hazards and allows novel technological application …

This work presents the dynamics of fire occurrences, greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions,
forest clearing, and degradation in the Brazilian Amazon during the period 2006–2019 …

Fuel consumption specifies the amount of vegetative biomass consumed during wildland
fire. It is a two-stage process of pyrolysis and combustion that occurs simultaneously and at …

The poor management of human excreta in developing countries is among the most
prominent global issues due to its negative impact on public health. This work demonstrates …

Chemical profiles from burning of raw biomass materials (ie, maize straw, wheat straw and
wood branch) and their processed products (ie, briquette and charcoal) were determined …

The thermochemical conversion of biomass in smouldering combustion is investigated here
by combining experiments and modeling at two scales: matter (1 mg) and bench (100 g) …

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 …

Poor sanitation is one of the major hindrances to the global sustainable development goals.
The Reinvent the Toilet Challenge of the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is set to …
