2017 Annual Meeting

Session: Pyrolysis of Biomass

This session will focus on chemistry and reaction engineering of biomass pyrolysis. This includes pyrolysis chemistry of individual biomass-derived polymers (e.g. cellulose), reaction-transport models of biomass particles, and reactor design for pyrolysis of biomass.
