Journal ArticleDOI
Revamping downdraft gasifier to minimize clinker formation for high-ash garden waste as feedstock.
TL;DR: The effects of parameters such as grate movement, equivalence ratio (ER), and ratio of air entering at combustion and drying zones (split ratio) were systematically studied to maximize the lower heating value (LHV) of gas and minimize the amount of clinker.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of pressure on the heat of biomass pyrolysis
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of pressure on the thermal effects associated to biomass pyrolysis was investigated, and the results indicated the presence of a competitive mechanism between the endothermic reactions of the primary decomposition process, leading to the formation of volatiles and the exothermic vapor-solid interactions.

The thermochemical conversion of biomass into biofuels
Jia Jun Zhang,Xiaolei Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the lignocellulosic biomass-derived second generation of biofuel remains the most intensively developed currently, and a greater understanding regarding the conversion mechanism, reactors, and feedstock composition are essential for large-scale industrialization of biofuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of pyrolytic liquids from industrial sewage sludges in an induction-heating reactor.
TL;DR: With the application of induction-heating, the pyrolytic experiments have been carried out for three sewage sludges from the food processing factories in an externally heated fixed-bed reactor, indicating that the sludge had a potential for biomass energy source.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mesoporous supported cobalt catalysts for enhanced hydrogen production during cellulose decomposition
TL;DR: In this article, two groups of cobalt (Co) catalysts, supported on SBA-15 and MCM-41, respectively, were prepared by incipient wetness impregnation and tested for their influence on the thermal decomposition of acetyl cellulose.

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.
An assessment of thermochemical conversion systems for processing biomass and refuse
A Bridgwater,G D Evans +1 more
TL;DR: A survey of gasification, pyrolysis and liquefaction technologies for biomass and waste has been conducted to identify processes suitable for opportunities in the UK and Denmark as discussed by the authors.
Bioconversion assessment study
TL;DR: The ENERGIE RENOUVELABLE Reference Record created on 2004-09-07, modified on 2016-08-08 as discussed by the authors was created for the BIOMASSE project.
