165 Pyrolysis of Biomass

Monday, October 29, 2012: 3:15 PM
315 (Convention Center )
Description:
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.
