TL;DR: A critical review of kinetic models and mathematical approximations currently employed in solid state thermal analysis is provided and analysis of thermal decomposition data obtained from two agricultural residues, nutshells and sugarcane bagasse reveals the inherent difficulty and risks involved in modeling heterogeneous reaction systems.

TL;DR: In this article, slow pyrolysis of agricultural residues such as olive husk, corncob and tea waste at high temperature (950-1250 K) in a cylindrical reactor batch reactor was investigated.

TL;DR: The influence of surface modification of activated carbon with gaseous ammonia on adsorption properties toward carbon dioxide (CO2) was reviewed in this paper, where two different methods, heat treatment and ammonia treatment (amination) for producing activated carbon had been compared and amination was found to be suitable modification technique for obtaining efficient CO2 adsorbents.

TL;DR: In this paper, Van Soest's method was performed to extract lignin from different species of biomass, including fir and birch lignins, and the microstructure was studied by a Fourier transform infrared spectrometry.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the design considerations faced by the developers of fast pyrolysis, upgrading and utilisation processes in order to successfully implement the technologies and discuss the aspects of design of a fast-pharma system including feed drying, particle size, pretreatment, reactor configuration, heat supply, heat transfer, heating rates, reaction temperature, vapour residence time, secondary cracking, char separation, ash separation, liquids collection.
