Biomass Pyrolysis


AFR has extensive experience in biomass pyrolysis studies. Samples studied include lignin, cellulose, hemi-cellulose, wheat straw, cornstalk, Populus deltoides (hardwood), Pinus radiata (softwood). The effects of pyrolysis conditions on product yields and char reactivity have been studied and kinetic models for pyrolysis product evolutions have been developed.
