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 …

Modeling of biomass gasification in bubbling and circulating fluidized bed (FB) gasifiers is
reviewed. Approaches applied for reactor modeling, from black-box models to computational …

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 …

Modeling is regarded as a suitable tool to improve biomass pyrolysis in terms of efficiency,
product yield, and controllability. However, it is crucial to develop advanced models to …

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 and theoretical investigations indicate particle shape and size influence
biomass particle dynamics, including drying, heating rate, and reaction rate. Experimental …

A one-dimensional stationary model of biomass gasification in a fixed bed downdraft gasifier
is presented in this paper. The model is based on the mass and energy conservation …

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 combustion behaviors of four different pulverized biomasses were evaluated in the
laboratory. Single particles of sugarcane bagasse, pine sawdust, torrefied pine sawdust and …

This paper reviews the current state-of-the-art of numerical models used for thermochemical
degradation and combustion of thermally thick woody biomass particles. The focus is on the …
