This work comprehensively reviews the pyrolysis of lignin from the aspects of mechanism,
modeling, and effects of inorganic species. Initially, the lignin general pyrolysis …

Predicting biomass combustion at temperatures of practical interest requires kinetic
expression robust and reliable over a large temperature range. The present work examines …

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 …

The co-combustion of biomass and coal in a utility boiler could provide cleaner power
production and ensure sustainable utilization of the solid fuels. This paper aims to …

This review presents recent advances in research on fluidized bed combustion of solid
biomass. While the main focus is on thermochemical processes occurring in fluidized beds …

The chemical percolation devolatilization (CPD) model for coal pyrolysis was first published
in 1989, and a completed version that included the vapor–liquid equilibrium model and …

This study investigated the combustion behaviour of single pulverized biomass and lignite
coal particles under high temperature–high heating rate conditions. Selected fuels included …

In this paper, numerical simulations were carried out to identify the mode of ignition and
ignition delay time of pulverized biomass particles in hot flue gas produced by a methane/air …

Fast pyrolysis of two biomass materials (mallee wood and pine wood) at 1300° C was
conducted in a novel drop tube furnace (DTF) with a double-tube configuration, which …

Laser diagnostic techniques have for more than five decades been used for gaining a
deepened understanding of various combustion processes. The main reason for this is the …
