Enhancing biomass plus coal Co-firing scenarios via biomass torrefaction and carbonization: Case study of avocado pit biomass and Illinois No. 6 coal

Xue, Junjie; Chellappa, Thiago; Ceylan, Selim; Goldfarb, Jillian L. (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2018)

Co-firing of biomass with coal is a short-term solution to increase renewables in energy generation portfolios. Fuel blending uses existing infrastructure for coal combustion to reduce economic costs and net CO2 and SOx ...
Synergism among biomass building blocks? Evolved gas and kinetics analysis of starch and cellulose co-pyrolysis

Xue, Junjie; Ceylan, Selim; Goldfarb, Jillian L. (Elsevier Science Bv, 2015)

Debate surrounds biomass co-pyrolysis: can thermal decomposition be modeled as the sum of individual components, or do synergistic reactions promote or hinder devolatilization? Activation energies of mixtures of starch and ...
