Reactivity of cellulose during hydrothermal carbonization of lignocellulosic biomass

Hydrothermal Carbonization of Lignocellulosic biomass: Chemical and Structural Properties of the Carbonized Products

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is a novel thermochemical conversion process to convert lignocellulosic biomass into value-added products. In this work, two different biomass materials: corn stalk and Tamarix ramosissima were used as feedstock. HTC processes were performed at the temperature of 250 °C for 4 h, using a batch reactor system. Chemical and structural characterization of the solid ...

Hydrothermal Pretreatment of Lignocellulosic Biomass and Kinetics

The study focus was an examination of the hydrothermal pretreatment method applied to the lignocellulosic substrate, represented by the prairie cord grass, and comparison between different conditions based on the yield of glucose after enzymatic hydrolysis. The treatment did not involve any chemicals usage. Enzymatic hydrolysis was performed in order to examine the amount of glucose which was r...

Characteristics of Biochar Obtained by Hydrothermal Carbonization of Cellulose for Renewable Energy

The effect of hydrothermal carbonization on the properties of cellulose present in lignocellulosic biomass was investigated for converting it into a renewable energy resource with high energy recovery efficiency. The biochar obtained from cellulose subjected to hydrothermal carbonization showed a significant increase in its carbon content and a calorific value. 13C NMR spectroscopy showed that ...

The Overview of Thermal Decomposition of Cellulose in Lignocellulosic Biomass

Physicochemical, Pyrolytic, and Combustion Characteristics of Hydrochar Obtained by Hydrothermal Carbonization of Biomass

Effects of the type of biomass and temperature, with longer residence time, on physicochemical characteristics of hydrochar were investigated. Different carbonization conditions were applied with the goal of producing hydrochars having better physicochemical properties. After the carbonization process, the pyrolysis and combustion behaviors of hydrochar were evaluated. The effect of temperature...
