The conversion of biomass by thermochemical means is very promising for the substitution
of fossil materials in many energy applications. Given the complexity of biomass the main …

Lignocellulosic biomass is the most abundant carbon source and it is a base of the whole
biorefinery concept. Levoglucosan (1, 6-anhydro-β-D-glucopyranose)(LG) is an anhydrous …

This review reports the state of the art in modeling chemical and physical processes of wood
and biomass pyrolysis. Chemical kinetics are critically discussed in relation to primary …

Considering the huge demand of energy for social economic development and deterioration
of environment due to extensive utilization of fossil fuels, green and renewable energy …

This paper analyzes the main kinetic features of biomass pyrolysis, devolatilization, and the
gas phase reactions of the released species. Three complex steps are faced in sequence …

This review critically examines the state of the art of rate laws and kinetic constants for the
gasification, with carbon dioxide and steam, and the combustion of chars produced from …

Analytical pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was employed to
achieve fast pyrolysis of cellulose and on-line analysis of the pyrolysis vapors. Experiments …

Four principal intra-particle phenomena occur in a highly concerted manner during the
pyrolysis of lignocellulosic materials: heat transfer, mass transfer, chemical reactions, and …

The fast pyrolysis of biomass-based feedstocks is currently gaining considerable attention
as an industrial and sustainable option for the production of gasoline-range bioaromatics …

Pyrolysis and gasification are two of the more promising utilization methods for the
conversion of biomass toward a clean fuel source. To truly understand and model these …
