Yen-Hau Chen et al.

Summary: This study evaluated the spontaneous gasification and catalytic activity of wood char in simulated sorption enhanced gasification environments, investigating the impact of hydrogen on tar-reforming performance.

Yi-Feng Chen et al.

Summary: The evolution mechanism and energy conversion of volatile in low-rank coal with pyrolysis temperatures are still unclear. Experimental results and theoretical calculations reveal the complex correlation between volatiles and coal structure at different pyrolysis temperatures, with kinetic rate coefficients of the rate-limiting step successfully computed. Thermodynamic and kinetic calculations show that phenols pyrolysis have to overcome a higher energy barrier, and a hydrogen-rich environment can kinetically facilitate the formation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
