Contribution of Particle Size and Moisture Content to Flowability of Fractionated Ground Loblolly Pine 

Oginni, Oluwatosin Jerry (2014-05-20)
The use of woody biomass requires feedstock materials in particulate form; therefore there is a need for size reduction of the feedstock materials. Ground biomass typically has a non-uniform particle size and as a biological ...

Effect of Torrefaction on Biomass Structure and Product Distribution from Fast Pyrolysis 

Neupane, Sneha (2015-01-13)
Torrefaction, a thermal pretreatment process, has been documented to improve the chemical composition of bio-oil produced from fast pyrolysis process. During torrefaction pretreatment, the major constituents of biomass ...

Experimental Analysis and Modeling of Biomass Gasification using a Downdraft Gasifier 

Shrestha, Ravindra (2014-08-19)
The call for the use of renewable energy is an urgent one, for not the future but the present. Concerns over depletion of fossil fuels and their negative impact on the global climate have led to much research in this sector. ...

Fertilizer Value of Densified Broiler Litter 

Sturgeon, Laura (2008-12-15)
The increase in broiler (Gallus gallus domesticus) production across the southeastern United States and in the state of Alabama has led to locally excessive application rates of broiler litter. Because of the low fertilizer ...

Prediction of Heating and Ignition Properties of Biomass Dusts Using Near Infrared Spectroscopy 

Dhiman, Jaskaran (2014-07-11)
Dusts (i.e. particles of size less than 500 μm) are generated during handling and processing of biomass feedstock. Similar to damages that have been reported from ignition of dusts obtained from industries, ignited biomass ...

Value-added Bioproducts Development from Lignocellulosic Biomass 

Li, Mi (2014-12-10)
Alternative fuels and chemicals from renewable biomass can be used to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil, increase national energy security, and address environmental challenges. While renewable biomass can be used for ...
