Kitchen waste contains a lot of organic matter, which has the characteristics of high moisture
content, low energy density and renewability. Thermochemical conversion of kitchen waste …

In this work, a reactive CFD-DEM coupling with the multi-sphere model has been
established and used to investigate the air-steam gasification of spherocylindrical biomass …

Biomass gasification is one of the primary thermal conversion processes where fluidized
bed reactors are often used to produce syngas with low heating values. However, there has …

Torrefaction is an effective method to improve the quality of biomass feedstocks for a
subsequent thermal conversion process. Torrefaction has been widely developed for …

Abstract A CFD-DEM model already developed by the authors has been extended to directly
compare the gasification performances between raw and torrefied grassy biomasses in an …

In the near future, biomass is expected to be a key resource for fulfilling clean energy
requirements. The predictive modeling of biomass conversion in industrial systems is still …

Two typical biomass feedstocks obtained from woody wastes and agricultural residues were
torrefied or mildly pyrolized in a fixed-bed reactor. Effects of the torrefaction conditions on …

Torrefaction is a promising biomass upgrading technology as it makes biomass more coal
alike and offers benefits in logistics and handling operations. Gasification is an attractive …

Pyrolysis of biomass converts it to bio-oil, which contains high oxygen content, reactive
nature, and poor heating value and hence require upgradation prior to its utilization as fuel …

In this work, the efficiency of the updraft gasification of different biomass was analyzed using
a 20 kg/h pilot facility. Eucalyptus wood chips, torrefied Eucalyptus wood chips, and torrefied …
