Co-pyrolysis of coal and raw/torrefied biomass: a review on chemistry, kinetics and implementation

Gouws, S.M.; Bunt, J.R.; Neomagus, H.W.J.P.; Carrier, M. (Elsevier, 2021)

Thermochemical conversion via co-pyrolysis has the potential to be an efficient route for converting biomass to bio-energy and bio-refinery products. In this review, the implementation of co-pyrolysis of torrefied biomass ...
Co-pyrolysis of torrefied biomass and coal : product evaluation and reaction modelling

Gouws, Susara Maria (North-West University (South Africa)., 2022)

The co-utilization of biomass and coal in existing coal-based conversion technologies has received increasing interest for its ability to reduce the dependence on fossil fuels and produce high quality products. However, ...
Structural and chemical modifications of typical South African biomasses during torrefaction

Mafu, Lihle D.; Neomagus, Hein W.J.P.; Everson, Raymond C.; Strydom, Christien A.; Bunt, John R. (Elsevier, 2016)

Torrefaction experiments were carried out for three typical South African biomass samples (softwood chips, hardwood chips and sweet sorghum bagasse) to a weight loss of 30 wt.%. During torrefaction, moisture, non-structural ...
