Recycling and recovery routes of plastic solid waste (PSW): A review
TL;DR: Although primary and secondary recycling schemes are well established and widely applied, it is concluded that many of the PSW tertiary and quaternary treatment schemes appear to be robust and worthy of additional investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling chemical and physical processes of wood and biomass pyrolysis
TL;DR: In this article, the state of the art in modeling chemical and physical processes of wood and biomass pyrolysis is reported, and the main achievements of numerical simulations are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Biofuels sources, biofuel policy, biofuel economy and global biofuel projections
TL;DR: The use of vegetable oils for making biodiesel due to its less polluting and renewable nature as against the conventional petroleum diesel fuel has been renewed interest in the use of biodiesel.
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of temperature and particle size on bio-char yield from pyrolysis of agricultural residues
TL;DR: In this article, slow pyrolysis of agricultural residues such as olive husk, corncob and tea waste at high temperature (950-1250 K) in a cylindrical reactor batch reactor was investigated.

Heat transfer and kinetics in the low temperature pyrolysis of solids
D.L. Pyle,Claudio A. Zaror +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the relative importance of internal and external heat transfer and of the intrinsic (first order) pyrolysis kinetics can be determined from the Biot number (hR/K).

Properties of char produced by rapid pressurized pyrolysis of peat
K. Sjöström,Chen Guanxing +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the pyrolysis of peat proceeds in two steps: an initial fast tar-producing step, followed by a second slower step including some chemical rearrangement of the char.

Energy-rich components and low-energy components in peat
TL;DR: In this paper, the organic components in peat can be classified into two principal types : energy-rich components (bitumen, humic acids and non-hydrolysables) and low-energy components (water solubles and easily hydrolysables, reducing substances, fulvic acids, and cellulose).
