Waste tyre pyrolysis – A review

TL;DR: In this paper, a comprehensive review has been carried out in order to show the effects of the main process conditions (heating rate, temperature, pressure, carrier gas flow rate and type, volatiles residence time and pyrolysis time) on physicochemical properties and distributions of the resulting products (gas, liquid and solid fractions).

Mechanical, barrier, and biodegradability properties of bagasse cellulose whiskers reinforced natural rubber nanocomposites

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of whiskers loading on tensile properties, thermal properties, moisture sorption, water vapor permeation, and soil biodegradation was studied, and significant improvement of Young's modulus and tensile strength was observed as a result of addition of cellulose whiskers to the rubber matrix especially at high whiskers' loading.

Competitive Reactions in the Thermal Decomposition of Cellulose

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that when cellulose is heated it undergoes two competitive reactions and the actual sequence of these is clarified, being different from that previously postulate.

The pyrolysis of rice husks in a thermogravimetric analyser and static batch reactor

TL;DR: In this paper, rice husks were pyrolysed in a thermogravimetric analyser in a nitrogen atmosphere to determine the role of temperature and heating rate on their devolatilization.

Kinetics of Cellulose Pyrolysis in Nitrogen and Steam

TL;DR: In this paper, a single rate equation for each pyrolysis medium is discussed which provides a good engineering fit to the weight loss curves, and the presence of steam in the pyrolys medium was found to have no measurable affect on cellulose pyrotechnic kinetics.
