Effect of biopretreatment on thermogravimetric and chemical characteristics of corn stover by different white-rot fungi

TL;DR: Results indicated that biopretreatment can optimize the thermal decomposition, decrease the reaction temperature and reduce the gas contamination (SO(x)), making the biomass pyrolysis more efficient and environmentally friendly.

Thermal behavior and gas evolution characteristics during co-pyrolysis of lignocellulosic biomass and coal: A TG-FTIR investigation

TL;DR: In this paper, the co-pyrolysis characteristics of cornstalk with two types of coal (lignite, bituminous coal) were investigated using thermogravimetry coupled with Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (TG-FTIR).

Pyrolysis of jute dust: effect of reaction parameters and analysis of products

TL;DR: In this paper, a fixed-bed pyrolysis of jute dust was used to study the product distribution and their characterization and to identify the optimum condition for bio-oil yield.

SO2/NOx emissions and ash formation from algae biomass combustion: Process characteristics and mechanisms

TL;DR: In this article, three species of algae biomass, namely, En, Sargassum and Chlorella, were used to investigate the process behavior of real-time SO2/NOx emissions and ash formation at varied combustion temperatures.
