Biomass fast pyrolysis is potentially one of the cheapest routes toward renewable liquid
fuels. Its commercialization, however, poses a multi-scale challenge, which starts with the …

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 …

This unique handbook presents both the theory and application of biomass combustion and
co-firing, from basic principles to industrial combustion and environmental impact, in a clear …

Understanding and modelling the dynamic behaviour of particulate systems has been a
major research focus worldwide for many years. Discrete particle simulation plays an …

Syngas and biochar are two main products from biomass gasification. To facilitate the
optimization of the energy efficiency and economic viability of gasification systems, a …

The approach of combined discrete particle simulation (DPS) and computational fluid
dynamics (CFD), which has been increasingly applied to the modeling of particle‐fluid flow …

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 …

Biomass is one of the important renewable energy sources. Biomass fuels exhibit a range of
chemical and physical properties, particularly size and shape. Investigations of the behavior …

A one-dimensional model for the thermal conversion of thermally thick biomass particles is
developed for the simulation of the fuel bed of biomass grate furnaces. The model can be …

Moving grate boilers are suitable for biomass combustion and used worldwide for domestic
heating applications. However, these boilers cause emission of harmful pollutants and …
