Is it possible to predict gas yields of any biomass after rapid pyrolysis at high temperature from its composition in cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin?

TL;DR: In this article, a link between the composition of a biomass and its pyrolysis gas yields and composition was established, and an attempt was made to predict gas yields of any biomass according to its composition.

Lack of synergetic effects in the pyrolytic characteristics of woody biomass/coal blends under low and high heating rate regimes

TL;DR: In this article, the pyrolytic properties of woody biomass/coal mixtures were investigated under both low and high heating rate conditions over a range of temperatures between 200°C and 1400°C.

Effect of particle size and temperature on woody biomass fast pyrolysis at high temperature (1000–1400°C)

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of temperature and particle size on pyrolysis performance was investigated in a drop tube furnace with a drop-tube wood pyrolyser with a particle size of 0.35-0.80mm.

Biomass pyrolysis experiments in an analytical entrained flow reactor between 1073 K and 1273 K

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of the particle size (0.4 and 1.1mm), temperature (1073-1273 K), the presence of steam in the gas atmosphere (0 and 20vol%) and the residence time (between 0.7 and 3.5 s for gas) on conversion and selectivity is studied.

Energy from Biomass and Wastes

TL;DR: Evidence indicates that combustion processes fed with biomass and wastes can form dioxins, but these hazards seem to be minimal, and one approach to natural production of liquid fuels by biomass combines photosynthesis and gene manipulation.
