Greenhouse gases emitted from the excessive use of fossil fuels are threatening the
environment, and thus alternative resources like biomass are being considered as a …

Biomass is a promising sustainable and renewable energy source, due to its high diversity
of sources, and as it is profusely obtainable everywhere in the world. It is the third most …

The cost of biodiesels varies depending on the feedstock, geographic area, methanol prices,
and seasonal variability in crop production. Most of the biodiesel is currently made from …

A review of the production of activated carbons from agricultural residues is presented. The
effects of various process parameters on the pyrolysis stage are reviewed. Influences of …

On a large scale, amount of pyrolytic gas generated and their components has a very
important role in product recovery in form of energy. The obtained gases having HHV can be …

Biomass pyrolysis is a thermochemical conversion process that undergoes a complex set of
concurrent and competitive reactions in oxygen-depleted conditions. A considerable amount …

This paper describes non-catalytic pyrolysis of plastic waste materials. Three types of waste
plastics were used in this study: polystyrene (PS), polyethylene (PE) and polypropylene …

A research scale fluidized-bed reactor has been built and used to study the effect of
steam/biomass ratio, time duration of experiments, reactor temperature, and biomass …

This paper reviews the recent advances in multi-scale computational fluid dynamics (CFD)
simulations of biomass pyrolysis in fluidized bed reactors. The interconnection among …

Experimental tests in an entrained flow gasifier have been carried out in order to evaluate
the effect of the biomass particle size and the space residence time on the gasifier …
