Gas-solid fluidized beds have drawn the attention of engineers and researchers as an
effective technology for a large variety of applications, and numerical simulations can play …

The past decades have seen increasing interest in develo** pyrolysis pathways to
produce biofuels and bio-based chemicals from lignocellulosic biomass. Pyrolysis is a key …

In this work about pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass, the individual reaction mechanisms of
cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin are initially described. The recent advances in the …

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

Determining the status of the municipal solid waste incineration (MSWI) process due to the
composition variations of MSW, operational differences of the MSWI plants, and …

Fast pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical method of producing renewable fuels and
chemicals from biomass and waste feedstocks. There is much interest in optimising the …

This paper discusses the research activities done at Politecnico di Milano in the field of the
detailed kinetic modeling of pyrolysis and combustion of biomass and bio-oil formation …

Fixed bed gasification represents a convenient pathway for exploiting lignocellulose since it
can be carried out on a small scale, while current technology is robust and fairly simple …

The main goal of this paper is to extend an existing biomass characterization method, which,
on the basis of the elemental carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen composition, derives the …

Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is available worldwide, is carbon neutral, and can
be converted to various types of products depending on the market and on the specific …
