Biomass-based energy fuel through biochemical routes: A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a review article aims to highlight various biochemical processes for conversion of biomass into biological hydrogen gas and ethanol, focusing on hydrogen production through various routes viz. fermentative, photosynthesis and biological water gas shift reaction.
Journal ArticleDOI

An overview of the organic and inorganic phase composition of biomass

TL;DR: An extended overview of the organic and inorganic phase composition of biomass was conducted in this article, where reference peer-reviewed data and own investigations for various minor organic components and minerals, and modes of element occurrence identified in biomass were also applied and organized to describe the biomass systematically.
Journal ArticleDOI

A review on hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors briefly enlightened a few concepts of HTL such as the elemental composition of bio-crude obtained by HTL, different types of feedstock adopted for HTL processes, possible process flow diagrams of both wet and dry biomass and energy efficiency of the process.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thermochemical biomass gasification—a review of the current status of the technology

TL;DR: A review of thermochemical biomass gasification for producing biofuels, biopower and chemicals can be found in this paper, where the authors discuss the challenges with gasification are to understand the effects of operating conditions on gasification reactions for reliably predicting and optimizing the product compositions, and for obtaining maximal efficiencies.
Journal ArticleDOI

Influence of torrefaction on the grindability and reactivity of woody biomass

TL;DR: In this article, the torrefaction of woody biomass (eucalyptus) was studied in order to improve its properties for pulverised systems, and the process consisted in a heating treatment at moderate temperature (240, 260, 280) under an inert atmosphere.
