Gómez, X., Meredith, W., Fernández, C., Sánchez-García, M., Díez-Antolínez, R., Garzón-Santos, J., & Snape, C. E. (in press). Evaluating the effect of biochar addition on the anaerobic digestion of swine manure: application of Py-GC/MS. Environmental Science and Pollution Research, https://doi.org/10.1007/s11356-018-2644-4

The anaerobic digestion process of swine manure was studied when char was used as supplement for improving performance. The use of pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was proposed for assessing the organic matter degradation. Th...

The impact of hydrothermal carbonisation on the char reactivity of biomass (2018)
Journal Article
Stirling, R. J., Snape, C. E., & Meredith, W. (2018). The impact of hydrothermal carbonisation on the char reactivity of biomass. Fuel Processing Technology, 177, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.fuproc.2018.04.023

Hydrothermal carbonisation (HTC) is an attractive biomass pre-treatment as it produces a coal-like fuel, can easily process wet biomass and wastes, and lowers the risk of slagging and fouling in pulverised fuel (PF) combustion boilers. One of the maj... Read More about The impact of hydrothermal carbonisation on the char reactivity of biomass.
