Using biomass waste for renewable energy and sustainable fuel production has gained
significant attention recently. This review investigates the potential biomass waste sources …

Biomass-derived bio-coal has shown excellent potential as a partial replacement for coal to
achieve a closed carbon cycle and mitigate CO 2 emissions by at least 18–40% in steel …

In this work, coal tar pitch was co-carbonized with biomass tar pitch to manufacture hybrid
mesophase pitch as precursor for the preparation of needle coke. The properties of …

Amorphous carbon is considered as a potential anode material for potassium ion batteries
due to its advantages of low cost, diverse precursors and structural plasticity. However …

Needle coke is mainly used in high-power electrode material for electric arc furnace, the
economy of material cost and the quality of co-carbonized products are widely concerned …

High volatile coal fines do not meet the requirements of various industrial production
processes and cause large resource losses. Recycling coal fines by the production of …

A one-step rapid pyrolysis activation method is proposed to produce activated coke powder
(ACP) via a drop tube reactor by using pulverized Datong coal (DTC) and pine wood (PW) …

The energy properties in bio-coal, such as proximate analysis, element composition, high
heat value, colour, thermal behavior are detailed elaborated. The results show bio-coal …

Calcined petroleum coke, recycled anodes and the coal tar pitch are the raw materials used
to manufacture carbon anodes for aluminum production. In order to reduce greenhouse …

Global depletion of fossil fuels, growing awareness on the effects of carbon emissions and
greenhouse gases and, the need for renewable energy, has increased the attention towards …
