A study of the pyrolysis and gasification of biomass residues such as oil palm shells and fibers, coffee shells, sugarcane bagasse and beech wood is presented. All of them are abundant agroindustrial biomass residues in Latin American countries. The characterization of the raw materials and products...

This work focused on glycerol exploitation for biogas and hydrogen production. Anaerobic digestion of pure glycerol was studied in a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), operated under mesophilic conditions (35oC) at various organic loading rates. The overall operation of the reactor showed that...

In the present work, premixed flames from the combustion of producer gas have been analyzed. Two different compositions have been tested, corresponding to air and steam gasification processes (the latter leading to a better quality gas due to its higher CO and H2 concentration and its lower N2...

Halide gases used in various industrial processes significantly contribute to the greenhouse effect owing to their high GWPs. In addition, the halide gases have high chemical stability and thus remain in the atmosphere for a long period. Therefore, effective treatment techniques of halide gases are...
