The co-pyrolysis of waste electrical and electronic equipments (WEEEs) and waste biomass to obtain pyrolysis-oil, a liquid fuel or chemical feedstock, was carried out in the present work. The pyrolysis-oil yield of co-pyrolysis reached 62.3% which was significantly higher than those of pyrolysis of WEEEs and biomass alone (i.e., 53.1% for WEEEs and 46.3% for biomass), suggesting that synergisti...

The characteristics of enzymatic/mild acidolysis lignin (EMAL) isolated from moso bamboo were investigated using pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS). Pyrolysis temperature as a factor on products was studied, and the pyrolysis mechanism was inferred with respect to the dominating products. Research results showed that pyrolysis products derived from EMAL pyrolysis were mai...

Lithological geochemical peculiarities rocks were studied using light microscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electronic microscopy (SEM)...

Abstract In this study the hydrocarbon generation potential of coal and coaly shale samples collected from mines in Attock-Cherat Range Pakistan is optically analytically evaluated. These samples, representing Paleocene Hangu Formation, are analyzed across a range thermal maturity stages to understand their potential. The visual examination maceral type values vitrinite reflectance have been co...

Despite their impor tance in assess ing the impact of pol i cies, out come eval u a tions—and in par tic u lar ran dom ized exper i ments—are rel a tively rare. The ratio nal iza tions used to jus tify the absence of out come eval u a tions include such asser tions as “we know our pro grams are work ing,” “they can’t pos si bly harm any one,” and “if they only help one kid they’re worth it.” Us...

We estimate the profitability of producing biochar from crop residue (corn stover) for two scenarios. The first employs slow pyrolysis to generate biochar and pyrolysis gas and has the advantage of high yields of char (as much as 40 wt-%) but the disadvantage of producing a relatively low-value energy product (pyrolysis gas of modest heating value). The second scenario employs fast pyrolysis to...

The pyrolysis of TVSb has been investigated in a flow tube reactor using Dz and He carrier gases. For TVSb alone, the most likely pyrolysis reaction involves an Sbcentered reductive elimination pathway. A less likely possibility is pyrolysis via homolysis of the Sb-C bonds, yielding vinyl radicals. Unfortunately, examination of the organic byproducts in both He and D, yields insufficient inform...
