Comparison of Feedstock Pretreatment Performance and Its Effect on Soluble Sugar Availability

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared the processing requirements for three lignocellulosic feedstocks (soybean hulls, wheat straw, and de-starched wheat bran) with a hammer mill to investigate how differences in composition and particle size affect the hydrolysis process.

Experimental study on combustion of biobriquettes Jatropha curcas solid waste

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors described conversion of Jatropha curcas waste into solid fuel through densification, which makes a cake seed easy to collect, ship, store and use.

An overview of OPS from oil palm industry as feedstock for bio-oil production

TL;DR: In this paper, the suitability of OPS as feedstock for bio-oil production compared to other oil palm biomasses is reviewed and compared to those of bio-oils produced from OPEFB, OPMF, OPF, OPT, OPB, and OPL.

Effects of biomass particle size on yield and composition of pyrolysis bio-oil derived from Chinese tallow tree (Triadica Sebifera L.) and energy cane (Saccharum complex) in an inductively heated reactor

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of particle size on the conversion of biomass into liquid pyrolysis oil was investigated and the results indicated that the range from 0.5-1.4 mm is a better range for optimizing bio-oil production while keeping water content low.
