“…For combustion application in engines, the lignocellulosic biomass needs to be conveyed and injected under pressure, which means that its flowability properties are an essential factor in ensuring a regular feed into the engine and avoiding clogging and vaulting phenomena. 6 Flowability is mainly related to physical factors such as the size, shape and surface compositions of particles and can be modified by thermal treatment. 46 The flowability can be evaluated with various indicators.…”

“…5 The energy released can be recovered as a mechanical force and used for high-power generation. Previous studies by our team 4,6–8 have demonstrated that an ultrafine lignocellulosic powder, with a median particle size of around 20 μm, is fully compatible with this application 7 but the energy released depends on the physical and chemical properties of the powder. Thus, the production of such powdered fuel is entirely green, provided that the energy required for the milling remains lower than the heating values of the lignocellulosic biomass.…”
Lignocellulosic powders have a chemical composition that makes them explosive under certain conditions. In the form of ultrafine particles, they can be directly used as fuel in combustion devices to...

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
