Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results show that the alkali treated bio-char possesses larger surface area than those of raw and acid treated Bio-char, and accordingly exhibits a more excellent adsorption performance than the other two bio-chars and other adsorbents reported previously.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors review the pyrolysis of biomass constituents and possible secondary reactions and show that for most of the biomass species tested, the first order reaction rate constant is large and > 0.5 s−1.

TL;DR: The authors investigated four reference fuels and three low lignin Lolium Festuca grasses which were subjected to pyrolysis to produce pyroolysis oils, and found that the mineral matter had the dominate effect on pyropolylysis in compared to lignins content, in terms of pyroplysis yields for organics, char and gases.

TL;DR: Composite electrodes composed of silicon nanowires synthesized using the supercritical fluid-liquid-solid (SFLS) method mixed with amorphous carbon or carbon nanotubes were evaluated as Li-ion battery anodes.
Abstract: Composite electrodes composed of silicon nanowires synthesized using the supercritical fluid-liquid-solid (SFLS) method mixed with amorphous carbon or carbon nanotubes were evaluated as Li-ion battery anodes. Carbon coating of the silicon nanowires using the pyrolysis of sugar was found to be crucial for making good electronic contact to the material. Using multiwalled carbon nanotubes as the conducting additive was found to be more effective for obtaining good cycling behavior than using amorphous carbon. Reversible capacities of 1500 mAh/g were observed for 30 cycles.

TL;DR: In this paper, the influence of operating parameters on pyrolysis oil production has been reviewed, including inert gas sweeping, residence times, rate of biomass heating, mineral matter, size of biomass particle and moisture contents of biomass.
Abstract: Pyrolysis is one of the potential routes to harness energy and useful chemicals from biomass. The major objective of biomass pyrolysis is to produce liquid fuel, which is easier to transport, store and can be an alternative to energy source. The yield and composition of pyrolysis oil depend upon biomass feedstock and operating parameters. It is often necessary to explore about the effect of variables on response yield and instinct about their optimization. This study reviews operating variables from existing literature on biomass pyrolysis. The major operating variables include final pyrolysis temperature, inert gas sweeping, residence times, rate of biomass heating, mineral matter, size of biomass particle and moisture contents of biomass. The scope of this paper is to review the influence of operating parameters on production of pyrolysis oil.
