One of the main drawbacks of using biomass as pyrolysis feedstock consists of the huge
variability of the different biomass resources which undermines the viability of downstream …

Despite the effectiveness of activated carbon as an adsorbent for many contaminants in
water, it suffers from poor handling and regeneration along with difficulty of separation from …

Wood cell walls have complex ultra-structures, in which cellulose microfibrils are surrounded
by a hemicellulose–lignin matrix. This is the first paper to discuss the effect of cell wall on the …

The distributions of biomass and plastic co-pyrolysis products are complicated by abundant
component combinations, pyrolysis conditions, and synergies. Herein, the hierarchical …

This work provides insights into the relationship between the pyrolysis products distribution
and the structural features of xylose-based hemicelluloses. Three xylose-based …

Pyrolysis is the initial stage of biomass combustion, whereas, the pyrolysis mechanism of
biomass, especially the hemicellulose component, is still not well elucidated. Herein, a …

Investigation on the biomass components pyrolysis behaviors in a lab-scale reactor is a
necessary step before its industrialization due to the poor transportability of the findings …

The thermal degradation reactivities of hemicellulose and cellulose in wood cell walls are
significantly different from the thermal degradation behavior of the respective isolated …

The thermal degradation reactivities of cellulose and hemicellulose are substantially
different in Japanese cedar (Cryptomeria japonica, a softwood) and Japanese beech (Fagus …

In this study, the effect of sodium (Na) ions on the slow pyrolysis of hemicellulose is
assessed using xylan as a representative of hardwood hemicellulose. Thermogravimetric …
