Economic assessment of flash co-pyrolysis of short rotation coppice and biopolymer waste streams Vrije Universiteit Brussel Universiteit Hasselt
The disposal problem associated with phytoextraction of farmland polluted with heavy metals by means of willow requires a biomass conversion technique which meets both ecological and economical needs. Combustion and gasification of willow require special and costly flue gas treatment to avoid re-emission of the metals in the atmosphere, whereas flash pyrolysis mainly results in the production of (almost) metal free bio-oil with a relatively high ...
