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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of bio-fuels by high temperature pyrolysis of sewage sludge using conventional and microwave heating.
TL;DR: Microwave pyrolysis still preserved some of the functional groups of the initial sludge such as aliphatic and oxygenated compounds, whereas no heavy PACs were detected.

Conventional and microwave induced pyrolysis of coffee hulls for the production of a hydrogen rich fuel gas
A. Domínguez,J.A. Menéndez,Y. Fernández,J.J. Pis,J.M. Valente Nabais,Peter J.M. Carrott,M.M.L. Ribeiro Carrott +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of pyrolysis method and temperature on the product yields and on the characteristics of the pyrotechnic products is discussed, and a comparison of microwave-assisted and conventional pyrolyses of coffee hulls is made.
Journal ArticleDOI
Microwave induced pyrolysis of oil palm biomass
TL;DR: Rapid heating and yield of microwave pyrolysis products such as bio-oil, char, and gas was found to depend on the ratio of biomass to microwave absorber.

A Review on Waste to Energy Processes Using Microwave Pyrolysis
Su Shiung Lam,Howard A. Chase +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, an extensive review of the scientific literature associated with various microwave pyrolysis applications in waste to energy engineering is presented, and it is concluded that more work is needed to extend existing understanding of these aspects in order to develop improvements to the process to transform it into a commercially viable route to recover energy from waste materials in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Rapid microwave pyrolysis of coal: Methodology and examination of the residual and volatile phases
TL;DR: In this article, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to identify pyridinic and pyrrolic nitrogen in Creswell coal and showed that the dominant form of tar sulfur is thiophenic.

Effects of particle size, heating rate and pressure on measurement of pyrolysis kinetics by thermogravimetric analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of particle size, heating rate and pressure on coal pyrolysis experiments were investigated and it was concluded that vapour pressure equations cannot be used directly to describe the evolution of tar.

Non-isothermal pyrolysis kinetics of three Turkish oil shales
Ö.Murat Doǧan,B. Zühtü Uysal +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a non-isothermal experimental study using thermogravimetric analysis (t.g.a.) was conducted to determine the overall kinetics of pyrolysis of three Turkish oil shales: Beypazari, Seyitomer and Himmetoǧlu.
