TLDR
The most important structure modifications appeared between 300 and 400 °C, and they are characterized by the decrease of intensities of C O and C C C bands and the formation of alkyl bands as discussed by the authors.About:

Characteristics of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin pyrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, the pyrolysis characteristics of three main components (hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin) of biomass were investigated using, respectively, a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) with differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) detector and a pack bed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sustainable biochar to mitigate global climate change
TL;DR: The maximum sustainable technical potential of biochar to mitigate climate change is estimated, which shows that it has a larger climate-change mitigation potential than combustion of the same sustainably procured biomass for bioenergy, except when fertile soils are amended while coal is the fuel being offset.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrolysis of biomass to produce fuels and chemical feedstocks
TL;DR: In this article, a review of new studies on pyrolysis of biomass to produce fuels and chemical feedstocks is presented, where a number of biomass species, varying from woody and herbaceous biomass to municipal solid waste, food processing residues and industrial wastes, were subjected to different pyropolysis conditions to obtain liquid, gas and solid products.

Chemical composition and bioavailability of thermally altered Pinus resinosa (Red pine) wood
Jeff Baldock,Ronald J. Smernik +1 more
TL;DR: The relationship between changes in chemical composition and biological inertness of char C created in the laboratory by heating Pinus resinosa sapwood to temperatures between 70 and 350°C was quantified in this article.

Catalytic fast pyrolysis of glucose with HZSM-5: The combined homogeneous and heterogeneous reactions
TL;DR: In this paper, the ZSM-5 catalyst was added to the pyrolysis reactor to lower the temperature at which the fragmentation and dehydration reactions occurred at 206°C and 312°C, respectively.

Introduction to pyrolysis of biomass
TL;DR: The pyrolytic properties of biomass are controlled by the chemical composition of its major components, namely cellulose, hemicelluloses and lignin and their minor components including extractives and inorganic materials as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cellulose char structure: a combined analytical Py-GC-MS, FTIR, and NMR study
TL;DR: In this article, the Curie-point pyrolysis-gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Cu-Py-GC-MS) was used as an analytical tool for characterization of the resulting chars.

Pyrolysis of cellulose.
Fred Shafizadeh,Y.L. Fu +1 more
TL;DR: Pyrolysis of cellulose under vacuum and atmospheric pressure gave a tar that had no reducing end-group, was randomly linked, contained some furanoid rings, and was very similar to the polysaccharide condensation-product of 1,6-anhydro-β-D-glucose.

IR studies of carbons—II: The vacuum pyrolysis of cellulose
C. Morterra,M.J.D. Low +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrolysis of cellulose in vacuum from 22 to 765°C was followed by IR photothermal beam deflection spectroscopy, where the main decomposition occurred near 300°C, some decomposition occurs as low as 190°C with the formation or highly absorbing aromatic systems.

Structure and formation of cellulosic chars
TL;DR: In this article, the formation and structure of chars produced on heating of cellulose, lignin, and wood have been investigated by FTIR and CP/MAS 13C-NMR, and the results have been discussed in conjunction with parallel permanganate oxidation studies reported before.
