Torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis, which has been explored for the pretreatment of biomass to
increase the heating value and hydrophobicity. Due to its potential applications for making …

Biomass-derived chars present energy density values close to those of fossil fuels and
therefore they are good candidates in electricity or heat production plants with only minor …

Pyrolysis is an important thermochemical route to decompose lignocellulose biomass into
biogas, bio-oil, and biochar, which can be then converted into value-added biofuels …

The effect of oxygen equivalence ratio (ER) on oxidative fast pyrolysis of pine sawdust was
investigated in a quartz tube fluidized bed reactor. The results showed that the introduction …

Thermal treatment has been the most feasible process to recycle valuable carbon fibers and
obtain fuel and chemicals from waste fiber/epoxy composites. The present work studied the …

To reduce the energy supply for pyrolysis, autothermal pyrolysis is one of the most promising
approaches to upcycle plastic waste. In this work, both single-step and multi-step methods …

Torrefaction of biomass is a promising pre-treatment process capable of substantially
improving the properties of raw biomass for its use as a solid biofuel, among many other …

The paper compares the microstructural properties and the intrinsic reactivity of pine seed
shells, olive husk and wood chips upon pyrolysis, combustion and gasification (with CO2 …

Biomass oxidative pyrolysis is of great interest from the point of view of large-scale bio-oil
production in autothermal regime. A study has been carried out in thermobalance with …

Background The microalgal-based industries are facing a number of important challenges
that in turn affect their economic viability. Arguably the most important of these are …
