Analysis and origins of volatile organic compounds smoke from ligno-cellulosic fuels

“…The same compounds had previously been found in forest fires [24][25][26][27][28][39][40][41]. In the literature, the pyrolysis of lignin and holocellulose produced the same compounds as were found in our study [19,20,[42][43][44]. There was no significant difference in the emission of VOCs or SVOCs according to the species (Table 2, Tukey's test, p > 0.05).…”

“…2 indicates that benzene and benzene derivatives, including BTEX, phenols and phenol derivatives, eugenol and eugenol derivatives and oxygenated compounds, are mainly emitted by the degradation of lignin. Faix et al [19] and Struppe et al [42] also reported that the thermal degradation of lignin led to the formation of these compounds. Finally, a correlation was observed between cellulose and hemicellulose and furans, linear alkanes and alkenes.…”

Characterization of PAHs Trapped in the Soot from the Combustion of Various Mediterranean Species

“…In general, it would seem that the influence of interspecificity on the distribution of PAHs in the soot is less. Similar results have been found by Struppe et al [33] when desorbing pyrolysis wood samples. They obtained a maximal concentration of two rings compared to the PAHs between 2 to 4 rings.…”
