Chemical and structural characterization of char development during lignocellulosic biomass pyrolysis
(Elsevier, 2017)
The chemical and structural changes of three lignocellulosic biomass samples during pyrolysis were investigated using both conventional and advanced characterization techniques. The use of ATR-FTIR as a characterization ...
Transformation of nitrogen functional forms and the accompanying chemical-structural properties emanating from pyrolysis of bituminous coals
(Elsevier, 2018)
Characterisation of simultaneous changes in nitrogen functionalities and condensed aromatic crystallites during pyrolysis of bituminous coals was conducted. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was utilised to determine ...
The effect of acid demineralising bituminous coals and de-ashing the respective chars on nitrogen functional forms
(Elsevier, 2017)
An opportunity presented itself to compare changes in nitrogen functional forms brought by the acid treatment of South African bituminous coals and their respective chars. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was used ...
Coal-derived low smoke fuel assessment through coal stove combustion testing
(Elsevier, 2017)
A study was undertaken to investigate the production of low smoke fuel from coal currently used in low-income households in South Africa. Pyrolysis of large coal lumps was studied as a possible production method, and an ...
