2. 1. Fast pyrolysis of biomass : primary products and reaction pathways

   Author : David Usino; Tobias Richards; Weihong Yang; Högskolan i Borås; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Fast pyrolysis; Py-GC-MS FID; Primary reactions; Cellulose; Xylan; Lignin; Birch wood; Co-pyrolysis; Mahogany; Iroko; Palm kernel shell; Biomass blend; Biomass interaction; Pretreatment; Resource Recovery; Resursåtervinning;

   Abstract : Pyrolysis of biomass to produce liquid fuel and chemicals has been considered as an alternativeto fossil fuel because biomass has a lower environmental impact; moreover, it is renewable andcould be sustainable. However, the process of bio-oil production involves a series of complexchemical reactions which are dependent on the biomass feedstock and composition,temperature, heating rate as well as residence time.

4. 2. Isoconversional analysis for the prediction of mass-loss rates during pyrolysis of biomass

   Author : Lina Norberg Samuelsson; Matthaus Babler; Rosana Moriana; Henrik Wiinikka; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; pyrolysis; biomass; kinetics; cellulose; spruce; black-liquor; model-free; isoconversional; prediction; pyrolys; biomassa; kinetik; cellulosa; gran; svartlut; model-free; isoconversional; förutsägelse; Chemical Engineering; Kemiteknik; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : Biomass is the only renewable carbon source that can compete with fossil energy sources in terms of production of materials, chemicals and fuels. Biomass can be transformed into charcoal, liquid and gas through pyrolysis, i.e. pure thermal decomposition. READ MORE

5. 3. Pyrolysis profiles and global kinetics of tropical biomass : coconut and cashew nut shells

   Author : Alberto Júlio Tsamba; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; thermogravimetry; cashew nut cocnut shells; pyrolysis; kinetics; Other materials science; Övrig teknisk materialvetenskap;

   Abstract : Biomass has been recognised as renewable and environmentally friendly source of energy since decades. Tropical biomasses which are available in large quantities as residues in Latin America, Africa and Asia, have high energy potential for exploitation through thermochemical conversion process, as pyrolysis, gasification or combustion.

6. 4. Fundamental Study of two Selected Tropical Biomasses for Energy : coconut and cashew nut shells

   Author : Alberto Júlio Tsamba; Wlodzimierz Blasiak; A. K. Gupta; KTH; []
   Keywords : Cashew nut shells; coconut shells; biomass; thermogravimetry; pyrolysis; kinetics; combustion; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

   Abstract :  Cashew nut and coconut shells are two potential renewable and environmentally friendly energy sources that are commonly found as agro-industrial wastes in tropical countries. Despite this fact, they are not yet widely studied as such. READ MORE

7. 5. Thermochemical behavior of pretreated biomass

   Author : Amit Kumar Biswas; Weihong Yang; Wlodzimierz Blasiak; Henrik Kusar; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Biomass; Pretreatment; therochemical conversion; pyrolysis; combustion; SRA - Energy; SRA - Energi; Energy Engineering;

   Abstract : Mankind has to provide a sustainable alternative to its energy related problems. Bioenergy is considered as one of the potential renewable energy resources and as a result bioenergy market is also expected to grow dramatically in future. However, logistic issues are of serious concern while considering biomass as an alternative to fossil fuel. READ MORE
