Biomass fast pyrolysis is potentially one of the cheapest routes toward renewable liquid
fuels. Its commercialization, however, poses a multi-scale challenge, which starts with the …

Biomass as a form of energy source may be utilized in two different ways: directly by burning
the biomass and indirectly by converting it into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. Pyrolysis is an …

Pyrolysis converts biomass into liquid, gaseous and solid fuels. This work reviews the
existing models for biomass pyrolysis, including kinetic, network and mechanistic models …

Biomass pyrolysis is a fundamental thermochemical conversion process that is of both
industrial and ecological importance. From designing and operating industrial biomass …

This paper analyzes the main kinetic features of biomass pyrolysis, devolatilization, and the
gas phase reactions of the released species. Three complex steps are faced in sequence …

Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical conversion process that undergoes a complex set of
concurrent and competitive reactions in oxygen-depleted conditions. A considerable amount …

The thermal decomposition of woody biomass in the absence of oxygen, or pyrolysis, is a
series of complex reactions involving hundreds of compounds. The species of residue, form …

The pyrolysis kinetics of xylan, cellulose, and eight lignocellulosic biomass samples
(including corn stover, cotton stalk, palm oil husk, pine wood, red oak, sugarcane bagasse …

In this work, an Euler–Euler multiphase computational fluid dynamics (CFD) model, which
couples a biomass particle pyrolysis model with a multi-fluid hydrodynamics model for gas …

A model is presented for the gasification of beech wood particles in a bubbling fluidized bed
gasifier (BFBG). The model encompasses the hydrodynamics of the solid and gas phases as …
