Pyrolysis is a versatile technology for exploiting diversified feedstocks to produce a wide
range of products, including biochar, bio-oil, and syngas with high potential in diverse …

Biomass gasification is a promising technology in current and future low carbon energy
systems. Soot formation is a great technical challenge for the industrialization of biomass …

Coal is the most abundant fossil fuel and is widely used as an energy source for combustion
and gasification. Both experimental methods and computational tools are required for the …

The optical properties of the light-absorbing, carbonaceous substance often called
“soot,”“black carbon,” or “carbon black" have been the subject of some debate. These …

Particulate matter (PM) emissions from stationary combustion sources burning coal, fuel oil,
biomass, and waste, and PM from internal combustion (IC) engines burning gasoline and …

Understanding of the chemical and physical processes that govern formation and
destruction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in combustion of solid fuels continues to be a …

The demand for coal use (for electricity generation) and coal products, particularly liquid
fuels and chemical feedstocks, is increasing throughout the world. Traditional markets such …

Coal-derived carbon black is the main composition of PM 2.5, used in the rubber industry
and energy storage fields. The formation and structure control of carbon black have attracted …

Synergistic effects of biomass and plastic co-pyrolysis on gas, tar, soot and char production
and pyrolysis kinetics were studied using a fixed-bed reactor and a thermogravimetric …

In this paper, recent advances in the discrete-element method (DEM) for describing motion,
deposition, agglomeration or aggregation of a large number of adhesive spherical particles …
