Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Under the rising depletion of fossil fuels and the increasingly serious situation of CO2 emission, it has become a trend to utilize renewable energy to gradually substitute fossil energy. Among various renewable energy sources, biomass is becoming increasingly popular due to its advantages, such as carbon neutrality. Biomass is a unique renewable energy resource that can be converted into liquid fuel (biofuels) through various technological methods. Biomass and biofuel are mainly applied through thermal conversion, in which combustion is the most important way. New technologies need to be developed to effectively improve the combustion efficiency of biomass and biofuel and give full play to their potential. Therefore, it is necessary to study the combustion characteristics of biomass and biofuel. In addition, considering potential problems (ash and slagging, corrosion, etc.) in the combustion of biomass and other fuels could alleviate these problems. Meanwhile, it could also co-dispose wastes, such as sludge, through co-combustion. Each aspect of these processes is worthy of careful investigation. Pollutant control and environmental protection are key issues that need to be paid attention to in the process of combustion.
We invite you to publish an article or a long review paper in the Special Issue " State-of-Art in Biomass and Biofuels Combustion".
This Special Issue aims to introduce the latest progress in experimental and numerical research, theory, and design related to biomass and biofuel combustion technology. In addition, attention will be paid to pollutant control and environmental protection issues related to biomass and biofuel combustion.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- Advanced processes for biomass and biofuel combustion;
- Biomass combustion experiment and numerical simulation;
- Optimization of biomass co-combustion process;
- Co-disposal of sludge and biomass;
- Pollutant control and environmental protection assessment;
- Life cycle assessment.
