Catalytic effects of ion-exchangeable K+ and Ca2+ on rice husk pyrolysis behavior and its gas–liquid–solid product properties

TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of ion exchangeable K+ and Ca2+ on rice husk pyrolysis were investigated by thermogravimetry/Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and a laboratory-scale fixed-bed reactor.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation with 13C NMR, EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements of char residues obtained by pyrolysis of biomass

TL;DR: In this article, a complete structural study of the chars was performed with high-resolution solid-state 13C, EPR, and susceptibility measurements, which revealed some non-classical and unexpected features of the NMR spectra in relation to the structural properties of the pyrolysed biomass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Investigation of agricultural residues pyrolysis behavior under inert and oxidative conditions

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of oxygen concentration on three biomass conversion pathway is discussed and compared, and the releasing temperature and quantities of major non-condensable gases and tar components are analyzed, and finally the kinetic parameters is calculated and compared.
Journal ArticleDOI

Computational calorimetric investigation of the reactions during thermal conversion of wood biomass.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the thermal decomposition of wood samples using an advanced computational thermal analysis method and found that the exothermic reaction of wood at higher temperatures was primarily affected by its lignin content and the char formation reactions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Combined NMR structural characterization and thermogravimetric analyses for the assessment of the AAEM effect during lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis

TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of inorganic species on the pyrolysis mechanism of lignocellulosic biomass was investigated using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and thermogravimetric analyses.

Energy production from biomass (Part 1): Overview of biomass.

TL;DR: The potential of a restored landfill site to act as a biomass source, providing fuel to supplement landfill gas-fuelled power stations, is examined, together with a comparison of the economics of power production from purpose-grown biomass versus waste-biomass.
