TL;DR: In this paper, an empirical model for the stoichiometry of biomass pyrolysis is presented, where empirical parameters are introduced to close the conservation equations describing the process, and the prediction capability of the model is briefly addressed, with the results showing that the yields of volatiles released from a specific biomass are predicted with a reasonable accuracy.

TL;DR: In this paper, thermal degradation was used as a method to decompose mixtures of rubber tyre (RT) and different plastic wastes (PE, PP and PS) with the aim of producing a liquid fuel, as well as valuable chemical raw materials.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that the economic performance of the energy system is strongly related to the biochar price rather than the income in result of CO2 emissions trading and fuel costs savings.

TL;DR: The authors report the case of a 51-year-old woman presenting with a painful right leg edema, who had a history of previous endovenous laser ablation of the right and left great saphenous veins and right short sa phenous vein, and who remains asymptomatic at 8-month follow-up.

TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrolytic volatiles released from a converting biomass particle are investigated through laboratorial fluidized bed experiments simulating conditions typical of large-scale gasifiers.
