Ignition...

... systems can provide a more reliable and resilient energy supply to buildings and communities while it can also provide energy-efficient, cost-effective, and environmentally sustainable solutions compared to centralized power systems. With a recent increased focus on biomass as an alternative fuel source...

... quadricauda) biomass was cultivated sustainably using an in situ tubular photo bioreactor and raceway pond to synthesize quintet carbon chained amyl alcohol using Ehrlich biosynthetic pathway. On analyzing the synthesized amyl alcohol, a homogenous mixture of a 20% (vol/vol) amyl alcohol-diesel blend showed...

Thermogravimetric (TG) and differential thermogravimetric (DTG) analyses were carried out to understand thermal devolatilization behavior and estimation of various thermophysical properties of the biomasses. The degradation behavior was analyzed in the light of lignocellulosic composition...

... biomass single pellets combustion corn straw ash melting Biomass-based fuels may be considered as nearly carbon-neutral because CO 2 emitted from their combustion is absorbed from the atmosphere during their growth [ 1 ]. Corn straw is produced globally and constitutes an agricultural waste...

... study investigates the co-pyrolysis of chicken manure and rice husk. The experiments were conducted in a non-isothermal gravimetrical analyzer using nitrogen at a flowrate of 100 ml/min at three different heating rates (5, 10, and 15 °C/min). The degradation of individual biomass and biomass blends...

...Osama M. Selim; Ryoichi S. Amano Conventional pyrolysis is a relatively simple way for biochar production; however, a single biomass feedstock approach is not promising for the development of multiple properties of biochar used in various applications. This study provides a detailed comparison...

... rate because the slow heating rate allows a quasi-equilibrium state and thus decreasing the effects of measurement errors due to the delay in response or any transient condition error. n = order of reaction t = time v = mass of volatile at any time w = mass of biomass...

.... The studies have shown large temperature gradients both in the biomass deposit and at the reactor walls. The analysis has confirmed the validity of the proposed reactor construction concept and allowed to specify the range of thermal power value necessary for obtaining the pyrolysis process in a system...

... a great risk. Therefore, Doddapaneni et al. [ 53 ] proposed a biomass torrefaction system with the detoxification of condensables using biochar and subsequently used detoxicated condensables as anaerobic digestion substrates. This approach may be one mechanism for condensable utilization. Another...

Yaman Woody biomasses such as ash tree (AT), hybrid poplar (HP), and rhododendron (RD) were subjected to torrefaction and carbonization at temperatures of 200 °C and 400 °C. Likewise, several lignite samples were carbonized at 750 °C. Various binary fuel...

...Mingman Sun; Yang Yang; Meng Zhang Low-energy and volumetric density of biomass has been a major challenge, hindering its large-scale utilization as a bioenergy resource. Torrefaction is a thermochemical pretreatment process that can significantly enhance the properties of biomass as a fuel...

Yaman Thirty-nine different species of waste biomass materials that include woody or herbaceous resources as well as nut shells and juice pulps were used to develop empirical equations to predict the calorific value based on the proximate analysis results. Ten...

...H. Haykiri-Acma; S. Yaman Pretreatment of biomass with phosphoric acid (H 3 PO 4 ) has been a popular method since it facilitates the generation of biofuels and mitigates the problems arising from the use of corrosive sulfuric acid that is otherwise commonly employed for pretreatment. However...
