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

To develop accurate predictive models for coal combustion or gasification, it is necessary to
know the rate and amount of volatiles released in pyrolysis as a function of the particle …

As an increasing number of professionals and graduate students enter the field of solid-
based power generation, they all require an command of process and equipment, as well as …

The paper provides an overview of current studies on the behaviour of coal during
devolatilization, especially the experimental studies and modelling efforts on the formation of …

The heterogeneous nature of coal and the complexity of the pyrolysis process have made it
very difficult to perform unambiguous experiments to determine the rates and mechanisms in …

Founded on the work of the renowned Advanced Combustion Engineering Research
Center, the authors document and integrate current knowledge of the organic and inorganic …

Devolatilization behavior of different coals and biomasses under heating conditions typical
of conventional pyrolysis processes was investigated. Thermogravimetric analyses were …

The chemical complexity and diversity of an Athabasca asphaltene sample was described
using a series of molecular representations. The molecular representations were created …

Underground coal gasification can convert deep coal into synthesis gas for use in the
production of electricity, fuels and chemicals. This paper provides a review of the …

Lignin liquefaction microkinetics is a move toward a more first-principles (ie, ab initio)-based
understanding at the molecular level in reaction engineering. While the microkinetic …
