Sunflower shells utilization for energetic purposes in an integrated approach of energy crops: Laboratory study pyrolysis and kinetics

Characterization of Thermo-Chemical Degradation and Pyrolysis Properties for Three Kinds of Biomass Residues

“…There have been many studies on the application of melon seeds and pyrolysis characteristics of SSS (Cancalon 1971;Demirbaş 2006;Raclavská et al 2011;Rai et al 2015). The pyrolysis of SSS provides an option for thermal upgrading to higher calorific value fuels through the separation and purification to high grade energy (Zabaniotou et al 2008). The by-products and wastes of pumpkin seed shells (PSS) and watermelon seed shells (WSS) may have the same or different pyrolysis uses as SSS.…”

Fast pyrolysis of rice husk under different reaction conditions

“…Since biomass is considered a promising energy resource, many developing countries have been interested in the utilization of agricultural residues such as bagasse [1], rice straw [2], rice husks [3], wheat straw [4], corncobs [5][6][7], corn stalks [8], and sunflower residue [9]. Rice husk from the agricultural industries is an abundant biomass resource in Korea that has typically been treated using traditional methods such as composting and incineration.…”

Thermochemical treatment of E-waste from small household appliances using highly pre-heated nitrogen-thermogravimetric investigation and pyrolysis kinetics

“…A full kinetic analysis of complex systems is generally not feasible, but some kind of 'effective' or 'average' kinetic description is still needed. In many of kinetic formulations of solid state reactions, it has been assumed that the isothermal homogeneous gas or liquid phase kinetic equation can be applied [22].…”
