Torrefaction is a mild pyrolysis process (usually up to 300 °C) that changes the chemical and physical properties of biomass. This possible pre-treatment prior further processes (transport, grinding, combustion, gasification, etc) generate energy or biofuels. In this study, three eucalyptus wood species bark were subjected different torrefaction conditions determine alterations in their structural properties. The most severe treatment (280 °C, 5 h) causes mass losses more than 35%, with...
The interest by biofilm-based microalgae technologies has increased lately due to productivity improvement, energy consumption reduction and easy harvesting. However, the effect of light, one key factor for system's operation, received less attention than planktonic cultures. This work assessed impact Photon Flux Density (PFD) on Chlorella vulgaris biofilm dynamics (structure, physiology, activity). Microalgae biofilms were cultivated in a flow-cell system with PFD from 100 500 [Formula: see...

Abstract This study assessed the potential of wood residues as fiber sources for wood-plastic composites (WPC) and examined impact intrinsic properties on strength development. Sawmill sawdust, underused species, bark, composite panel, pulp paper sludge were sampled. Fibers characterized cellulose content, ash aspect ratio. WPC samples formed by twin-screw extrusion compounding, followed injection molding at three proportions. mechanical properties, water uptake, swelling increased with...
This paper presents an investigation into drop spreading and capillary absorption at the surface of a porous substrate. Lattice Boltzmann numerical simulations are carried out pore level with two values intrinsic contact angle liquid-gas-solid line three porosity; case flat solid is included as reference. The results show power-law evolution wetted zone radius time, both exponent prefactor decreasing increasing porosity. in time droplet height emerges from competition between pure bulk...
