Hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass: A review of subcritical water technologies
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a review of the current status of the hydrothermal liquefaction of biomass with the aim of describing the current state of the technology, which is a medium-temperature, high-pressure thermochemical process which produces a liquid product, often called bio-oil or bi-crude.

Fast pyrolysis processes for biomass
TL;DR: Fast pyrolysis for production of liquids has developed considerably since the first experiments in the late 1970s as mentioned in this paper, leading to significant advances in process development and a wide range of reactor configurations that have been developed to meet the stringent requirements for high yields of useful liquids, for use as a fuel in boilers, engines and turbines and as a source of chemical commodities.

The turnover of organic carbon and nitrogen in soil.
TL;DR: In this article, a two-compartment model was proposed to represent the first few years of the decay of 14 C-labelled plant material in soil and showed to give a useful representation of data from the Rothamsted long-term field experiments.

Principles and practice of biomass fast pyrolysis processes for liquids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors review the design considerations faced by the developers of fast pyrolysis, upgrading and utilisation processes in order to successfully implement the technologies and discuss the aspects of design of a fast-pharma system including feed drying, particle size, pretreatment, reactor configuration, heat supply, heat transfer, heating rates, reaction temperature, vapour residence time, secondary cracking, char separation, ash separation, liquids collection.

Product yields and kinetics from the vapor phase cracking of wood pyrolysis tars
TL;DR: In this paper, the homogeneous vapor phase cracking of newly formed wood pyrolysis tar was studied at low molar concentrations as a function of temperature (773 - 1.073 K), at residence times of 0.9 - 2.2 s.

A kinetic model for the production of liquids from the flash pyrolysis of biomass
TL;DR: In this article, a kinetically based prediction model for the production of organic liquids from the flash pyrolysis of biomass is proposed, where wood or other biomass is decomposed according to two parallel reactions yielding liquid tar and ( gas + char) The tar is then further react by secondary homogeneous reactions to form mainly gas as a product.
