TL;DR: Two types of pinewood chars, hydrothermal char (H300) and pyrolytic char (P700) from biomass-to-energy conversion were characterized and used as adsorbent for the copper removal from aqueous solution as discussed by the authors.
416 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of process parameters such as pyrolysis temperature, heating rate and holding time on the yields of pyrotechnic products and their chemical compositions were investigated.
411 citations
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors evaluated and estimated data on the kinetics of reactions involving methanol and hydroxymethyl radicals and various small inorganic and organic species which are of importance for the proper understanding of methanoline combustion and pyrolysis.
Abstract: This publication contains evaluated and estimated data on the kinetics of reactions involving methanol and hydroxymethyl radicals and various small inorganic and organic species which are of importance for the proper understanding of methanol combustion and pyrolysis. It is meant to be used in conjunction with the kinetic data given in an earlier publication pertaining to methane pyrolysis and combustion, but which also contains a large volume of data that are applicable to the methanol system. The temperature range covered is 300–2500 K and the density range 1×1016 to 1×1021 molecules cm−3.

TL;DR: In this paper, the pyrolysis characteristics of agricultural residues (wheat straw, olive husks, grape residues, and rice husks) and wood chips have been investigated on a bench scale.
Abstract: The pyrolysis characteristics of agricultural residues (wheat straw, olive husks, grape residues, and rice husks) and wood chips have been investigated on a bench scale. The experimental system establishes the conditions encountered by a thin (4 × 10-2 m diameter) packed bed of biomass particles suddenly exposed in a high-temperature environment, simulated by a radiant furnace. Product yields (gases, liquids, and char) and gas composition, measured for surface bed temperatures in the range 650−1000 K, reproduce trends already observed for wood. However, differences are quantitatively large. Pyrolysis of agricultural residues is always associated with much higher solid yields (up to a factor of 2) and lower liquid yields. Differences are lower for the total gas, and approximate relationships exist among the ratios of the main gas species yields, indicating comparable activation energies for the corresponding apparent kinetics of formation. However, while the ratios are about the same for wood chips, rice h...
