The development of biofuels has been considered as an important countermeasure to abate
anthropogenic CO 2 emissions, suppress deteriorated atmospheric greenhouse effect, and …

The past decades have witnessed increasing interest in developing pyrolysis pathways to
produce high-quality chemicals from biomass. However, the numerous defects of bio-oil …

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 …

Potassium is a natural catalyst in biomass thermochemical conversion and plays an
essential role in plant's growth. To figure out the catalytic effects of potassium on the …

Olive stones obtained as a by-product from olive oil extraction in combination with the
favourable climate in Mediterranean countries are value-added feedstocks for the energy …

During the pyrolytic production of biochar, only 50% of carbon (C) could be retained in
biochar, and about 10% C would be mineralized after biochar is amended into soil. In this …

This paper studied the catalytic pyrolysis of rice husk (RH) with different K-compounds (ie,
KOH, K 2 CO 3, and K 2 C 2 O 4) for co-production of biofuels and porous carbons. The …

This review article discusses the effects of inorganic content and mechanisms on raw
biomass and char during gasification. The impacts of the inherent inorganics and externally …

Bio-oil production from food waste, consisting of pineapple peel, banana peel, and
watermelon peel, is investigated by a two-step process, namely, an alkaline pretreatment …

Potassium salt is a nonnegligible inorganic element in biomass, and it has a significant
impact on the thermal behavior of biomass. To understand the mechanism of potassium on …
