Review of solar-biomass pyrolysis systems: Focus on the configuration of thermal-solar systems and reactor orientation

Plasma technology for lignocellulosic biomass conversion toward an electrified biorefinery

“…Interested readers in solar technology are referred to a recent report on solar-biomass pyrolysis and relevant concepts. 193…”

“…Interested readers in solar technology are referred to a recent report on solarbiomass pyrolysis and relevant concepts. 193 Given that plasma pyrolysis is the most mature biomass treatment, all the above-mentioned reactor-plasma sources have been exploited, including DC torch, 188 corona, 194 CCP-RF 195 and ICP-RF, 196 and MW plasmas, 197 either in continuous or pulsed mode and hybrid configurations. 198 Products of different state and composition form due to different temperatures activating different reaction paths and the varying biomass composition.…”

Acclimatized activated sludge for enhanced phenolic wastewater treatment using pinewood biochar

“…Although biochar is an expensive material, some measures can be still adopted to decrease the production cost and push the technologies for commercialization. For instance, renewable sources of energy can be used to provide the energy required for the pyrolysis process under relatively high temperatures [68].…”

Prospects of Pyrolysis Process and Models in Bioenergy Generation: a Comprehensive Review

“…The concentrators (parabolic, Linear Fresnel reflectors, Fresnel reflectors, Solar dish, Linear Mirror II) focus the irradiation onto a small area of the reactor, reducing the area of the reactor by a factor of, typically, 500-1000. In some cases, the feedstock is directly irradiated (Ndukwu et al 2020c). The concentrators range from low-temperature concentrator like a compound parabolic mirror to central dish receivers of temperature above 1000°C.…”
