Abstract:Abstract. Wood pyrolysis is a distinct process that precedes
combustion and contributes to biomass and biofuel burning gas-phase and
particle-phase emissions. Pyrolysis is defined as the thermochemical
degradation of wood, the products of which can be released directly or
undergo further reaction during gas-phase combustion. To isolate and study
the processes and emissions of pyrolysis, a custom-made reactor was used to
uniformly heat small blocks of wood in a nitrogen atmosphere. Pieces of
maple, Douglas fir,… Show more
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.
