Some of the progress that, owing to modeling and numerical simulation, has been made to
the understanding of chemical and physical processes, which occur during combustion of …

Cellulose pyrolysis, studied since more than one century, has been the object of a great
number of papers. Several related kinetic models have been established in large …

Recent advances inexperimental methods and computer modeling have shed new light on
the kinetics of cellulose pyrolysis. The rich slate of reaction products that evolve when …

Thermal degradation of thin layers of milled, commercial xylan is made to occur under
controlled sample temperature, by proper variation in the intensity of the applied radiative …

In the same thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) under identical conditions, samples of pure,
ash-free cellulose (ie, Avicel PH-105, Whatman CF-11, Millipore ash-free filter pulp, and …

Solar pyrolysis of a carbonaceous feedstock (coal, biomass and wastes) is a process in
which carbon-containing feedstocks are used as chemical reactants and solar energy is …

Solar pyrolysis of biomass is a smart way to upgrade biomass and, thus, store intermittent
solar energy as solar fuels (gas, bio-char and bio-oil). Distribution and energy content of …

Existing technology for fast pyrolysis processes will be reviewed briefly. It will be shown that
in most cases, provided certain criteria of heating rate and residence time are met, similar …

This paper reports the first results of experiments and modelling of the radiant flash pyrolysis
of cellulose. Small samples are exposed to brief flashes of a concentrated radiation, at the …

Evidence is presented showing that it should be possible to depolymerize a purified
cellulose to produce anhydro-oligosaccharides containing small numbers of glucosidic units …
