In the current energy scenario, the production of heat, power and biofuels from biomass has
become of major interest. Amongst diverse thermochemical routes, gasification has stood …

Biomass is increasingly perceived as a renewable resource rather than as an organic solid
waste today, as it can be converted to various chemicals, biofuels, and solid biochar using …

Lignin could be an important green source for aromatic hydrocarbon production (benzene,
toluene and xylenes, BTX). Catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of guaiacol was studied …

The modeling of biomass gasification processes by simulators such as Aspen Plus is a
powerful tool to assess mass and energy balances and to optimize process designs. A …

Thermochemical technologies for converting biomass into energy or chemicals mainly
consist of combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification. This review summarizes the recent …

Anisole was chosen as the simplest surrogate for primary tar from lignin pyrolysis to study
the gas-phase chemistry of methoxyphenol conversion. Methoxyphenols are one of the main …

Pyrolysis of pine sawdust, a typical industrial biomass waste, was studied. The effects of
operating temperature, biomass particle size, and space velocity on the products of biomass …

Tars formation remains the main technical hurdle in the development of biomass gasification
at commercial scale, due to its associated operating problems (condensation, catalyst …

Pore size distribution is a key parameter in the performance of biobased pyrolytic char in
novel applications. In industrial-scale production, the size of feedstock particles typically …

Thermochemical processes such as gasification can decompose carbon feedstocks into
gaseous (eg, syngas), liquid (eg, oil, tar), and solid (eg, char) products. Gasification is …
