Investigation of Volatile Products from Wood Pyrolysis
… are following the thermo-chemical degradation of wood in the absence of oxygen. The objectives are to evaluate the influence of heating rates on pyrolysis products obtained from wood pyrolysis and to evaluate the influence of acid pre-treatment on pyrolysis products. Depending on the wood heating …

Improvement of bio-oil stability in wood pyrolysis process
Pyrolysis is one of several thermochemical technologies that convert solid biomass into more useful and valuable bio-fuels. Pyrolysis is thermal degradation in the complete or partial absence of oxygen. Under carefully controlled conditions, solid biomass can be converted to a liquid known as …

Using bio-chars as potential catalysts for upgrading wood pyrolysis vapors
Pyrolysis is a promising thermochemical conversion method to process lignocellulosic biomass to produce bio-oil that can be further refined into chemicals and fuels compatible with current petrochemical fuels. However, bio-oils are highly reactive and unstable and therefore must be refined …

Emission of organic aerosols from wood combustion: Bridging the gap between aerosol science and wood pyrolysis
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2022-11-11 without embargo terms

Scale Modeling of Tests with Combined Thermo-Structural Loading
… Next, these scaling laws were demonstrated for wood with combined thermo-structural loading. Dimensional lumber boards at ½-scale and ¼-scale were subjected to combined bending and thermal loading. Samples were placed in static three-point bending with the loading scaled to have structural …

A Computational Fluid Dynamics Model to Simulate Wood Combustion
Residential wood stoves and wood heaters are being used by nearly 3 billion people worldwide. In the United States, residential wood heaters are used by only 9 % of the households. However, according to the US EPA, they contribute to around 7 % of the cumulative PM2.5 emissions. Furthermore, …

Modeling study of the hygroscopic, optical, and cloud-activation properties of aerosols from biofuel combustion
… properties of light-absorbing or “brown” OC from wood pyrolysis at relative humidity (RH) ranging from 40% to 95%. Extinction, scattering, and absorption were modeled using Mie-Lorenz theory, which requires aerosol size and refractive index at all RHs as inputs. Diameter growth factors as a …
