From the conventional use of biomass in the form of heating to the modern day use of biomass in the form of electricity generation and biofuel production, biomass has always been part of the evolution of mankind Modern day use of biomass is gradually becoming more complex, and engineering played an important role in defining different directions This review provides an overall view of biomass utilization through thermal treatment including combustion, pyrolysis, and gasification Efficient use of biomass with the desired output and minimizing the drawbacks are the core of the research, and marginal focus is being held on developing new techniques The variety of composition and uptake of different elements throughout the lifespan of biomass produces a mixture of results In general, it can be seen that the optimization was observed either in the form of chemical looping combustion to prevent greenhouse gas emission or in upgrading of bio-oil to produce biofuels The significant factor is the reaction co

Summary
The thermal behavior of rice straw, microalgae, and their mixture was studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Co-combustion of rice straw and microalgae broadened the temperature range of combustion, facilitated ignition, and promoted burnout. The blend ratio of microalgae should be less than or equal to 10% in a 20%O2/80%N2 atmosphere and 30% in a 20%O2/80%CO2 atmosphere to reach a higher comprehensive combustion index (CCI) value than the individual fuels. The co-combustion with a small ratio of microalgae could remedy partial negative effects on combustion performance caused by the replacement of N2 using CO2. The interaction of blends depended on the atmosphere and temperature range. The prediction of the combustion performance of blends by a weighted sum of individual fuels worked better in an O2/CO2 atmosphere at low temperatures, while better in an O2/N2 atmosphere at high temperatures. The simulation using the model which contained 2 parallel multi-order reactions matched with the thermogravimetric curves well, and blending reduced activation energies of the second stage.
