Journal ArticleDOI
Techno-Economic Analysis of Biomass Fast Pyrolysis to Transportation Fuels
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined fast pyrolysis of corn stover to bio-oil with subsequent upgrading of the biooil to naphtha and diesel range fuels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of biochar from fast pyrolysis and gasification systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors compared fast and slow pyrolysis and gasification of switchgrass and corn stover with a commercial hardwood charcoal and found that the latter had higher ash content.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of inorganic salts on the primary pyrolysis products of cellulose
TL;DR: The pyrolysis speciation revealed the competitive nature of the primary reactions and accelerated the reactions that led to the formation of low molecular weight species from cellulose as compared to those leading to anhydro sugars.
Journal ArticleDOI
Review of the pyrolysis platform for coproducing bio-oil and biochar
TL;DR: The pyrolysis platform for producing bio-oil and biochar from biomass appears to be a practical, effective, and en- vironmentally sustainable means of producing large quantities of renewable bioenergy while simultaneously reducing emissions of greenhouse gases as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of cleaning technologies for biomass-derived syngas
TL;DR: In this article, a review of the technologies for removing contaminants from raw syngas is presented, which are classified according to the gas temperature exiting the cleanup device: hot, cold, and warm.
