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 ...
