Pyrolysis oil, a complex mixture of several organic compounds, produced during flash pyrolysis of organic lignocellulosic material was evaluated for its suitability as alternative carbon source for fungal growth and fermentation processes. Therefore several fungi from all phyla were screened for their tolerance toward pyrolysis oil. Additionally Aspergillus oryzae and Rhizopus delemar, both est...

The transformation of lignocellulosic biomass into bio-based commodity chemicals is technically possible. Among thermochemical processes, fast pyrolysis, a relatively mature technology that has now reached a commercial level, produces a high yield of an organic-rich liquid stream. Despite recent efforts to elucidate the degradation paths of biomass during pyrolysis, the selectivity and recovery...

Interest in biochar stems from its potential agronomic benefits and carbon sequestration ability. Biochar application alters soil nitrogen (N) dynamics. This review establishes emerging trends and gaps in biochar-N research. Biochar adsorption of NO3, up to 0.6 mg g biochar, occurs at pyrolysis temperatures >600 °C with amounts adsorbed dependent on feedstock and NO3 concentration. Biochar NH4 ...

The biomass slow pyrolysis using the fixed-bed pyrolyzer is a simple and inexpensive technique that can be used in small farms comparing to complex expensive technology of fast pyrolysis. However, primary produces bio-char lower yields bio-oil pyrolytic gas. Thus, there urgent need enhance gas production under conditions on account due advantage wide applications farm. Hence, this work aims fab...

Ulva Lactuca is a fast-growing algae that can be utilized as bioenergy source. However, the direct utilization of U. lactuca for energy applications still remains challenging due to its high moisture and inorganics content. Therefore, thermochemical processing such slow pyrolysis produce valuable added products, namely bio-oil biochar, needed. This study aims conduct thorough investigation bioc...

could be prepared by employing appropriate precursor molecules. Nanotubes containing both boron and nitrogen have Carbon nanotubes containing small amounts of nitrogen are been grown in the electric arc discharge between graphite produced by the pyrolysis of aza-aromatics such as pyridine, cathodes and graphite anodes filled with boron in a nitrogen methylpyrimidine and triazine over cobalt nan...

Pyrolysis is an attractive thermal conversion technology used to produce bio-oil and some chemicals. In this study, we investigated the pyrolysis of sewage sludge under N2 and CO2 atmosphere at various temperatures (350-750°C) in a rotating fixed bed reactor. For under N2 atmosphere, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) shows two major reaction peaks centered at 300 and 500°C. However, if CO2 was...
