TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used WPPO (waste plastic pyrolysis oil) mixed with 5% and 10% DEE (diethyl ether) as fuels for single cylinder water cooled, DI engine and its performance, emission and combustion characteristics were found.

TL;DR: Pyrolysis is therefore a potential technology with its carbon-negative, energy positive and soil amendment benefits thus creating win- win scenario.
Abstract: This study examined the influence of pyrolysis temperature on biochar characteristics and evaluated its suitability for carbon capture and energy production. Biochar was produced from corn stover using slow pyrolysis at 300, 400 and 500°C and 2 hrs holding time. The experimental biochars were characterized by elemental analysis, BET, FTIR, TGA/DTA, NMR (C-13). Higher heating value (HHV) of feedstock and biochars was measured using bomb calorimeter. Results show that carbon content of corn stover biochar increased from 45.5% to 64.5%, with increasing pyrolysis temperatures. A decrease in H:C and O:C ratios as well as volatile matter, coupled with increase in the concentration of aromatic carbon in the biochar as determined by FTIR and NMR (C-13) demonstrates a higher biochar carbon stability at 500°C. It was estimated that corn stover pyrolysed at 500°C could provide of 10.12 MJ/kg thermal energy. Pyrolysis is therefore a potential technology with its carbon-negative, energy positive and soil amendment benefits thus creating win- win scenario.

TL;DR: In this paper, a mixture of polyethylene (PE), polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), polyethylenes terephthalate (PET), and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) has been pyrolysed in a 3.5-dm 3 semi-batch reactor at 500°C for 30 min.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the combustion behavior of coal, bituminous coal, sub-bituminous and lignite coals was performed using three-color pyrometry and high-speed high-resolution cinematography to obtain temperature time-size histories.

TL;DR: Characterization results confirmed that MgFe2O4 nanoparticles with a cubic spinel structure were successfully embedded in the biochar matrix, and this offered magnetic separability with superparamagnetic behavior and enabled higher phosphate adsorption performance than that of pristine biochar and sole Mg Feldman nanoparticles.
