Syngas and biochar production are mainly influenced by temperature, feedstock properties,
gasifying agent, pressure, and the mass ratio between gasifying agent and feedstock with …

Drying is an energy-intensive pretreatment process of biomass for production of biofuels by
thermo-chemical conversion. The efficiency and quality during biomass drying have a …

The article presents the results of studies of ignition and combustion processes of droplets
(during the initial period of heating), and then particles (after drying the surface layer) of bio …

Pyrolysis of a single biomass pellet involves multiple processes, such as evaporation,
decomposition, flow field changes, shrinking or swelling. These processes can be simulated …

This study numerically investigates the performance of the melting process for a biochar-
based phase change material latent heat energy storage system. The melting processes of a …

A one-dimensional unsteady-state heat transfer model coupled with time dependent mass
loss equation of wood particles exposed to drying and pyrolysis conditions was developed …

The present work reports the physical, size and shape, flowability, drying and
devolatilization properties of ground wood and ground bark particles. Mechanical sieving …

This study aimed to examine the drying in Eucalyptus wood in different directions and
regions. Flow rates of free (FRFW), bound (FRBW), and total water were calculated in three …

The paper proposes the use of microwave irradiation to lower the initial moisture content of
wood chips. The study involved willow and fir chips fractionated by means of a sieve …

Biomass drying has always been a big issue in biomass thermal treatment. Especially in
pyrolysis, combustion and gasification, water evaporation is a necessary step before other …
