“…For making better use of char obtained from solar pyrolysis, the composition, surface area, pore structure and reactivity should be investigated in advance. Char reactivity and morphological structure are especially affected by the pyrolysis conditions (Blasi, 2009;Raveendran and Ganesh, 1998). The effects of pyrolysis conditions on the structure and reactivity of biomass chars have been investigated in several studies in relation to the following parameters: temperature (Fu et al, 2012a(Fu et al, , 2011Kim et al, 2012;Min et al, 2011;Bonelli et al, 2001), heating rate (Mermoud et al, 2006;Guerrero et al, 2005;Fushimi et al, 2003), residence time and pressure (Cetin et al, 2005(Cetin et al, , 2004.…”
