abstract = {An experimental study of the thermal decomposition of powdered cellulose and pine sawdust has been performed. The influence of the heating rate on the temperature profiles in the sample and on the solid conversion rate has been studied. A mathematical model without adjustable parameters has been used to calculate the temperature at different points in the solid bed and the average total solid conversion. The experimental results have been compared with those calculated by the model. A good agreement has been obtained for sawdust. Some differences are observed for cellulose at high heating rates, and the influence of the thermal conductivity and the reaction heat on the results has been analysed. textcopyright 1994.},

abstract = {Various kinds of catalysts are being developed and tested for the pyrolytic gasification of biomass using the Waterloo Fast Pyrolysis Process (WFPP) technology. The present report describes gasification tests with wood in a continuous bench scale fluidized bed reactor but with no added air or oxygen in the region of 500–700 °C and at short gas contact times, using a crystalline nickel aluminate catalyst. The objective was to determine the most appropriate operating conditions for this catalyst and its performance for the production of a synthesis gas in high yields. Experiments were carried out with this catalyst in both inert and reactive gasification media, but without any oxygen or air addition. The results show the influence of the catalyst on the nature of the gasification products and the effect of operating variables. Gas compositions are given for typical WFPP operating conditions. Evidence is presented which indicates that the gasification mechanism is a fast thermal pyrolysis followed by catalytic reforming of the vapors with a high yield of synthesis gas. textcopyright 1994, American Chemical Society.

This paper describes both installations as well as the experimental procedure. The influence of operating conditions on the amount and quality of products was determined. The results obtained from processing forestry waste are analysed. Values above 90% for mass conversion efficiency and over 70% for cold gas efficiency were reached. textcopyright 1994.},

abstract = {An experimental study of the thermal decomposition of powdered lignocellulosic biomass was performed in a macrobalance system. Weight loss and temperature profiles in the bed for different heating rates were determined using mainly cellulose and pine sawdust. Some experiments with xylan and lignin were also carried out. A simple model was used to calculate weight loss and temperature at different points. An average temperature allows comparison of the results obtained. textcopyright 1993.},

abstract = {The calculation of the weight loss during the thermal decomposition of lignocellulosic materials involves the solution of the heat and mass balance equations. In order to solve these equations it is necessary to know the temperature on the solid surface, which can vary at different points and can also be very different from the gas temperature. In this work, an experimental study was carried out in a system which allows the use of large particle sizes and the simulation of different operating conditions. In this study, the temperatures on the solid surface were measured and compared with those corresponding to the empty reactor. textcopyright 1992.},
