“…Ash contents of 5wt.% to 35wt.% have been reported for coal, a non-renewable fuel widely used for electricity generation and reduction of iron ore (Ward et al, 2008;Wang et al, 2011;Wang et al, 2012;Magdziarz and Wilk, 2013). Sugarcane bagasse, an important energy source for Brazilian industries, can have a mineral content of up to 21wt.% (Scatolino et al, 2018), which is considerably higher than the values observed in this study for Caatinga wood.…”

Thermal profile of wood species from the brazilian semi-arid region submitted to pyrolysis. CERNE, v. 25, n. 1, p. 44-53, 2019. HIGHLIGHTS We analyzed native and endangered species of the Brazilian semi-arid region. The thermal profile of the species was questioned for energy generation. Mimosa tenuiflora and Poincianella pyramidalis were the most suitable wood species for sustainable charcoal production. The energy characteristics will allow the efficient management of the species in mixed plantations for this purpose.

ABSTRACT. This paper presents a study carried out in a Brazilian pellet industry in order to determine the main properties of sugarcane bagasse pellets. Materials ), ash content (8.70%), fixed carbon (14.03%), volatile matter (77.27%), nitrogen (0.28%), sulphur (0.02%) and chlorine (< 0.02 %). The results are compared with those obtained from the literature and discussed according to international standards for biomass pellets, wood pellets and solid biofuel. The comparative analysis showed that there are differences between the results found in our study in comparison with other studies and international standards. The paper also presents the production process energy consumption and cost analysis. ), o teor de cinzas (8,70%), o carbono fixo (14,03%), as matérias voláteis (77,27%), o nitrogênio (0,28%), o enxofre (0,02%) e o cloro (< 0,02 %). Os resultados são comparados com outros obtidos a partir da literatura e discutidos de acordo com normas internacionais para pellets da biomassa, pellets de madeira e biocombustível sólido. A análise comparativa mostrou que existem diferenças entre os resultados encontrados em nosso estudo em comparação com outros estudos e normas internacionais. O artigo também apresenta uma análise de consumo e custos com energia no processo produtivo.Palavras-chave: pellets, bagaço de cana-de-açúcar, biomassa, bioenergia.

Solid biofuels can be defined as processed and unprocessed biomass. By definition it can be divided into: natural fuels (as obtained) and synthetic fuels (after mechanical and chemical treatment). Raw materials for the production of solid biofuels may include: wood, stalk plants, peat, sewage sludge and grains of cereals. These raw materials can be used directly as fuel or as a half-finished product for further production. The aim of the work was to analyze trends and research topics in the production of solid biofuels. This analysis was made using bibliometric techniques. Bibliometric analyzes allow to indicate the research topics, authors, as well as research institutions that significantly influence a given discipline. The research and analysis were carried out on scientific articles taken from the Scopus database in 2014-2018. The downloaded data have been cleaned and processed in the VOSviewer program. This program allows to analyze the frequency of occurrence of keywords in years and to present results in graphic form. Next, a detailed analysis of the content of the publications and classification according to selected criteria was carried out. The main countries that carry out research in this area are: Spain, Italy, Brazil, the Czech Republic and China. The main research areas were: Energy, Environmental Science, Agricultural and Biological Sciences, Chemical Engineering and Engineering. The most popular research topics throughout the research period were: biomass (raw materials, properties), biomass agglomeration processes (briquetting, pelleting), energy properties research, thermal biomass treatment (torrefaction, gasification and others), research on production and biochar properties and other.
