A review of catalytic microwave pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass for value-added fuel and chemicals.
Hervan Marion Morgan,Quan Bu,Quan Bu,Jianghui Liang,Yujing Liu,Hanping Mao,Aiping Shi,Hanwu Lei,Roger Ruan +8 more
TL;DR: Microwave technology by itself cannot efficiently produce high quality bio-oil products, catalysts are used to improve the reaction conditions and selectivity for valued products during MAP, and future prospects and scientific development of MAP are considered.

Characterization of biochar from switchgrass carbonization.
Samy S. Sadaka,Mahmoud A. Sharara,Amanda J. Ashworth,Patrick D. Keyser,Fred L. Allen,Andrew Wright +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the characteristics of switchgrass biochar produced via carbonization and explored its potential use as a solid fuel in existing power plants that were built to accommodate coal and peat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthetic fuels from biomass using concentrated solar energy – A review
TL;DR: In this article, the area of land required for growing biomass can be reduced using the application of thermal solar to one half of that needed for a standard gasification system, and if hydrogen is generated by solar means, the figure becomes one third.

Relationship between fuel quality and gaseous and particulate matter emissions in a domestic pellet-fired boiler
TL;DR: In this article, the relationship between the fuel quality and the gaseous and particulate matter (PM) emissions in a domestic boiler fired with five different types of pellets, namely, two commercial pellet from pine residues, commercial pellets from cork residues, and in-house made pellets from olive wood and olive pruning residues.

Wood ash composition as a function of furnace temperature
TL;DR: In this paper, the elemental and molecular composition of mineral matter in five wood types and two barks was investigated as a function of temperature using thermal gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, inductively coupled plasma emission spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction.

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.
