Lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis: A review of product properties and effects of pyrolysis parameters
TL;DR: In this paper, a general summary of the properties of pyrolytic products and their analysis methods is given, as well as a review of the parameters that affect the process and a summary of current state of the art.
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
Biomass pyrolysis kinetics: A comparative critical review with relevant agricultural residue case studies
TL;DR: A critical review of kinetic models and mathematical approximations currently employed in solid state thermal analysis is provided and analysis of thermal decomposition data obtained from two agricultural residues, nutshells and sugarcane bagasse reveals the inherent difficulty and risks involved in modeling heterogeneous reaction systems.

Review of the stability of biochar in soils: predictability of O:C molar ratios
TL;DR: In this article, the molar ratio of oxygen to carbon (O:C) in the resulting black carbon was found to provide a 1000-year biochar half-life.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of biochars to evaluate recalcitrance and agronomic performance.
TL;DR: Prediction of biochar stability was improved by a combination of volatile matter and H:C ratios corrected for inorganic C, and agronomic utility of biochars is not an absolute value, as it needs to meet local soil constraints.
