Analysis of biomass chars thermal decomposition: Experimental tests and modelling in N2 and CO2 atmosphere
(ETA Florence, 2017)Char is a by-product of biomass gasification; nonetheless, it can be valorized in several ways, for wastewater treatment, for instance, or as bio-fertilizer. Char has also been observed to have a high potential for catalytic ... -
Environmental Impact of Char from four commercial gasification systems
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2016)In a gasification system, char is a solid by-product mainly composed of carbon and ash. This by-product was usually disposed as a waste but a recent Decree completely changed the Italian scenario authorising the utilization ... -
Gasification char as a potential substitute of activated carbon in adsorption applications
(Elsevier, 2017)This study points out the similarities between char from biomass gasification and activated carbon and reviews its successful applications in the field of adsorption. Surface area (SBET) is considered as the standard ... -
Evaluation of Common Reeds Potential for Heat Production: a Case Study in Caldaro Lake (Italy)
(ETA Florence, 2016)In the last years, the interest concerning the energy utilization of common reed is considerably increased. This topic is of particular interest also in the region of South-Tyrol (Italy), in which the management of alpine ... -
Experiences in biomass gasification in South-Tyrol: The “GAST” project
(ETA-Florence Renewable Energies, 2013)In the last 18 months, several South-Tyrolean entrepreneurs have decided to invest in the biomass gasification technology, clearly conveying strong interest in the sector of small scale cogeneration plants. This was ... -
Modeling Analysis of Biomass Gasification MCHP Systems for Residential Applications
(ETA, 2012)The aim of this work is the energy efficiency assessment of micro cogeneration systems (MCHP) based on biomass gasification for residential application, using a multistage modeling approach. Particular attention has been ...
