This study compares a staged thermal processing of the sewage sludge, with single step,
integrated thermal processing. The aim of this study is to find the optimal conditions for …

Due to the increasing installed power of the intermittent renewable energy sources in the
European Union, increasing the operation flexibility of the generating units in the system is …

Pretreatment of biomass with phosphoric acid (H3PO4) has been a popular method since it
facilitates the generation of biofuels and mitigates the problems arising from the use of …

To date, few studies on the potential utilization of agricultural residue torrefaction products
have been performed. Thus, torrefaction product characterization aimed at its potential …

Utilization of sewage sludge, in a way friendly to the environment, is still a subject of
intensive investigation. One of the possible solutions is the gasification of sewage sludge …

Biomass torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis thermal treatment process carried out at
temperatures between 200 and 300° C under inert conditions to improve fuel properties of …

Woody biomasses such as ash tree (AT), hybrid poplar (HP), and rhododendron (RD) were
subjected to torrefaction and carbonization at temperatures of 200° C and 400° C. Likewise …

During the combustion of solid fuels, the undesired effects of ash transformation include bed
agglomeration, slagging, and fouling processes. In particular, a problematic consequence of …

Thermal management has a key role in the development of advanced electronic devices to
keep the device temperature below a maximum operating temperature. Jet impingement …

In entrained flow gasifiers, the production of oxidic slag accompanies the gasification
process. This slag forms a layer on the refractory walls, flows downwards gravitationally, and …
