Recent Findings and the Energetic Potential of Plant Biomass as a Renewable Source of Biofuels – A Review

Michael Ioelovich
- 08 Jan 2015 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, a critical review of the use of non-edible plant biomass for production of various kinds of biofuels is considered, and the most efficient way to produce energy is by direct burning of the plant biomass in a pelletized form, while the burning of such amount of the solid, liquid, or gaseous biofuel which can be obtained from the plant material, gives a much smaller energetic effect.

Fast pyrolysis of lignins with different molecular weight: Experiments and modelling

TL;DR: In this article, a mathematical model has been developed, which includes three concurrently occurring processes, viz. cracking and polymerisation reactions and removal, hence mass transport, of unconverted lignin and reaction products from the reaction zone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Biobased alkylphenols from lignins via a two-step pyrolysis - Hydrodeoxygenation approach.

TL;DR: Five technical lignins were depolymerised to produce monomeric biobased aromatics, particularly alkylphenols, by a new two-stage thermochemical approach consisting of dedicated pyrolysis followed by catalytic hydrodeoxygenation (HDO) of the resulting pyrofullysis oils.
