Study on the Effect of Cut Tobacco Drying on the Pyrolysis and Combustion Properties
Hui Wang,Hongren Xin,Zhenkai Liao,Jun Li,Wei Xie,Zeng Qiang,Yaofeng Li,Qiaoling Li,Xiao Dong Chen +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, an oven drying method was applied to the treatment of the cut tobacco samples in a temperature range from 70 to 170°C, and the results showed that oven drying prepared uniformly treated samples.

Characterization of acid-leaching cocoa pod husk (CPH) and its resulting activated carbon
Wen-Tien Tsai,Po-Cheng Huang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pore properties of activated carbon (AC) derived from cocoa pod husk (CPH) and CPH-A were investigated based on proximate analysis, mineral compositions, thermogravimetric analysis, and thermochemical properties.
Reference EntryDOI
Overview of Solid Fuels, Characteristics and Origin
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the origin, properties and characteristics of coals, cokes, different biomass, and peat, and discuss the factors that influence the reactivity of solid fuels and how thermogravimetric analysis may be applied to compare and quantify these differences.

Characterization of Products from Fast Micropyrolysis of Municipal Solid Waste Biomass
Bethany Klemetsrud,Suchada Ukaew,Vicki S. Thompson,David N. Thompson,Jordan Klinger,Lucia Li,Dominic Eatherton,Parin Puengprasert,David R. Shonnard +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the waste materials were tested for thermochemical conversion potential using a bench scale fast micropyrolysis process and the highest yields were obtained for the C&D materials and lowest for the paper waste.

Ash deposition during biomass and coal combustion: A mechanistic approach
TL;DR: In this article, a mechanistic approach to describing the fate of inorganic material in solid fuels with a particular focus on the mechanisms of ash deposition is presented. But this approach has the potential of embracing a large range of fuel variations, combustor types, and operating conditions without the need of developing extensive databases or testing procedures for each new situation.
