Journal ArticleDOI
High-temperature solar chemistry for converting solar heat to chemical fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reviewed the recent developments on thermochemical conversion of concentrated solar high temperature heat to chemical fuels and discussed the technical developments and feasibilities to conduct these endothermic processes by utilizing concentrated solar radiation as the process heat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar-driven gasification of carbonaceous feedstock-a review
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of the underlying science, thermodynamics and kinetics of the pertinent reactions, and describes the latest advances in solar thermochemical reactor technology is presented, as well as the application of solar-driven gasification.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solarthermal Processing: A Review
TL;DR: Research on solarthermal processing and the need for alternative energy sources have reached the point where efforts to develop some industrial processes and expand research to suggest others are at least desirable, if not imperative as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiant flash pyrolysis of cellulose—Evidence for the formation of short life time intermediate liquid species
TL;DR: In this article, the first results of experiments and modelling of the radiant flash pyrolysis of cellulose were reported, where small samples are exposed to brief flashes of a concentrated radiation, at the focus of an image furnace operating with a 5 kW xenon lamp associated to two elliptical mirrors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Solar-driven biochar gasification in a particle-flow reactor
TL;DR: In this paper, a 3-kW solar reactor prototype consisting of a cylindrical cavity-receiver containing an opaque tubular absorber was used for steam-gasification of biochar with concentrated solar radiation.

Research in thermochemical biomass conversion.
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of feedstock components on municipal solid waste pyrolysis were investigated and the effect of neutral salts on thermochemical conversion of cellulose and of sucrose.
Journal ArticleDOI
Energy from Biomass and Wastes
TL;DR: Evidence indicates that combustion processes fed with biomass and wastes can form dioxins, but these hazards seem to be minimal, and one approach to natural production of liquid fuels by biomass combines photosynthesis and gene manipulation.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.
