TL;DR: In this article, the chemical structures of hemicellulose and lignin are different for two distinct types of wood, i.e., softwood and hardwood, and such differences are expected to affect pyrolysis behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, Indian milkweed oil was evaluated as a potential feedstock for biodiesel production, and the extracted oil was analyzed for the fatty acid profile and oil properties, which conformed to four standards (Philippine National Standard PNS2020:2003, Japanese Automotive Standards Organization JASO M360, European Standard EN 14214, American Society for Testing Materials ASTM D6751).

TL;DR: In this paper, the chemical composition of cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin and other minor cell wall components was studied for six different parts of the oil palm such as trunk, frond, mesocarp, shell, kernel cake and empty fruit bunch.

TL;DR: It was determined that secondary reactions of gaseous LG can result in the clean (tar- and coke-free) gasification of cellulose, and the acid catalyst effect of intermolecular hydrogen bonding to promote the molten-phase dehydration reactions.

TL;DR: In this paper, a very fine thermocouple was used to measure the devolatilization temperature during cellulose pyrolysis, and the results indicated that the depolymerization of cellulose, not evaporation of the volatiles products, is the rate-determining step for the pyrotechnic degradation.
