Smoldering combustion of various natural and synthetic solid materials constitutes a
substantial fire hazard; the process itself produces copious toxic gases and it can lead to …

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 …

Activation, Deactivation, and Poisoning of Catalysts deals with the circumstances and
mechanisms underlying catalyst activation, deactivation, and poisoning. The emphasis is on …

An experimental comparison of forward and reverse smolder propagation is presented;
these two cases correspond, respectively, to reaction wave movement in the same and in …

An experimental study is conducted of forward smolder of polyurethane foam. Air is used as
oxidizer, and is forced in the direction of smolder propagation under conditions that produce …

A mathematical model is developed to describe the process of thermal regeneration in
diesel‐particulate monolithic filters. The model shows that a typical regeneration cycle …

Smoldering combustion, particularly in upholstery and bedding materials, has been proven
a serious life hazard. The simplest representation of this hazard situation is one-dimensional …

An experimental study is conducted of upward smolder of polyurethane foam in natural
convection. The objective of the study is to provide further understanding of the mechanisms …

Research on catalyst deactivation has been concerned with three generally distinguishable
areas:(1) investigation of the fundamental mechanisms and the kinetics of deactivation …

This work is aimed at predicting the amount of residue coke and the temperature of
operating mode of the regenerator, depending on the initial technological conditions of the …
