So no… heating with wood isn’t for everyone, but it’s definitely a fit for us. And when the Wyoming winds are howling and the snow is blowing, you can bet you’ll find me hunkered down by the fire with a cup of chai and a good book. Listen to the Old Fashioned On Purpose...
some low molecular weight lignin melts, flows, and partially coalesces into droplets. The thermally softened lignin contributes to the strength characteristics of pellets and briquettes made
On the other hand, the mechanical behavior of biochar has been assessed for specific applications such as land-fill biocovers and in-ground filtration systems [29,30,31], addition of charcoal to construction materials or biocomposites [32], fuel pellets production [33,34,35], and heating ...
Denmark and Sweden started using wood pellets and chips in the 1980s in the medium scale district-heating sector to replace fossil fuels. The main market drivers were fossil fuel taxes, plus public decrees forcing large-scale power utilities to use biomass. The first legislation in this area on...
the loss of TOC, suggesting that TOC content was the main constraint for adsorbed oils. A bulk composition analysis illustrated that EOM-1 contained more saturated hydrocarbons, while EOM-3 was enriched in resins and asphaltenes. More detailed fractionation between the free and adsorbed oils was ...
