Microwave heating processes involving carbon materials
J.A. Menéndez,Ana Arenillas,Beatriz Fidalgo,Y. Fernández,L. Zubizarreta,E.G. Calvo,J.M. Bermúdez +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the microwave-assisted processes in which carbon materials are produced, transformed or used in thermal treatments (generally, as microwave absorbers and catalysts) are reviewed and compared with those obtained by means of conventional (non-microwave-assisted) methods in similar conditions.

Livestock waste-to-bioenergy generation opportunities
TL;DR: Integration of biological and thermal-based conversion technologies in a farm-scale hybrid design by combining an algal CO2-fixation treatment requiring less than 27,000m2 of treatment area with the energy recovery component of wet gasification can drastically reduce CO2 emissions and efficiently recycle nutrients.

Towards sewage sludge based biofuels via thermochemical conversion – A review
P. Manara,Anastasia Zabaniotou +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a co-processing of sewage sludge with biomass improves the fuel's characteristics and enhances the processes efficiency, while diluting the inorganic and toxic compounds, which is a sustainable solution to algae production using wastewater resources and then to be used for bio-energy production.

An overview of fast pyrolysis of biomass
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the design considerations faced by the developers of fast pyrolysis, upgrading and utilisation processes in order to successfully implement the technologies and provide a case study of the application of the technology to waste wood and how this approach gives very good control of contaminants.

Sewage sludge combustion
Joachim Werther,T. Ogada +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the current and future issues related to the combustion of sewage sludge is presented, and a number of technologies for thermal processing of sludge are discussed in three groups, i.e., mono-combustion, cocombustions and alternative processes.

Mechanisms and kinetics of homogeneous secondary reactions of tar from continuous pyrolysis of wood chips
TL;DR: In this article, the change of mass and composition of biomass tar due to homogeneous secondary reactions was experimentally studied by means of a lab reactor system that allows the spatially separated production and conversion of the biomass tar.

Influence of temperature on the products from the flash pyrolysis of biomass
TL;DR: In this article, a mixture of mixed wood waste was pyrolysed in a fluidized bed reactor at 400, 450, 500 and 550°C, and the results showed that only low quantities of hydrocarbons were present and the oxygenated and polar fractions were dominant.
