Unravelling the mechanisms of microwave pyrolysis of biomass

John Robinson et al.

Summary: This study establishes a new mechanism for microwave pyrolysis of biomass through empirical observations and mass transfer simulations. It demonstrates that microwave heating can significantly reduce pyrolysis temperatures for cellulose and hemicellulose, with dielectric properties varying based on heating rate. The study also identifies liquid-phase water as a key driver for the observed differences in microwave pyrolysis process.

Investigation on microwave torrefaction: Parametric influence, TG-MS-FTIR analysis, and gasification performance

Beibei Yan et al.

Summary: This study compared the effectiveness of microwave torrefaction (MT) and conventional torrefaction (CT) on herb residue (HR), showing that MT is more efficient in removing bound water and generating gases. Moisture content was identified as the key factor affecting torrefaction and energy consumption, while MT-HR exhibited superior gasification performance.
