Lignocellulosic biomass is carbon neutral and produces fuels and chemicals which are used for domestic, industrial, and transportation system. Thermochemical conversion processes (combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis) are emerging technologies which have great potential for industrial implementation. In this paper, the investigation has been done to select appropriate bamboo biomass suitable for thermochemical conversion process out of 21 biomass samples available in Mizoram, India. Various characteristics considered here for the selection of the appropriate bamboo biomass include proximate analysis, ultimate analysis, and their heating values. These characteristics are plotted in different diagrams and analysed in detail. It is observed after analysis that some bamboo biomasses are suitable combustion, some are suitable for pyrolysis and rest are suitable for gasification.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
