Low temperature mechanism for the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from the pyrolysis of cellulose
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) from the pyrolysis of cellulose over the temperature range of 300-650°C has been investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
An experimental investigation into the formation of polycyclic-aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) from pyrolysis of biomass materials
TL;DR: In this article, the formation of polycyclic-aromatic hydrocarbons from the pyrolysis of cellulose, pectin, and chlorogenic acid was studied.
Journal ArticleDOI
Formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons from tobacco: the link between low temperature residual solid (char) and PAH formation.
TL;DR: A link between the formation of a low temperature char that evolves PAHs upon heating is established and the observed ng/g yields ofPAHs from tobacco highlights aLow temperature solid phase formation mechanism that may be operable in a burning cigarette.
Journal ArticleDOI
Phenolic compound formation from the low temperature pyrolysis of tobacco
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the formation of 10 phenolic compounds (hydroquinone, resorcinol, catechol, phenol, 4-methylcatechol and 3-methyl catechols) from the pyrolysis of different tobacco types at temperatures between 350 and 600°C.
