  1. 1. Waste-to-Energy : A study on Reaction Kinetics of Tropical Wood Sawdust

    University essay from Högskolan i Borås/Akademin för textil, teknik och ekonomi

    Author : Bertrand Asongwe Tita; [2016]
    Keywords : Tropical biomass; Thermo-gravimetric Analysis TGA ; reaction kinetics; pyrolysis;

    Abstract : The reaction kinetics of Iroko and Mahogany were studied using TGA. The pyrolysis process was achieved using six different heating rates of 2,5,8,12,15 and 20˚C. A 15˚C/min heating rate was used for gasification in steam at different temperatures while varying the concentrations of nitrogen and steam in the process. READ MORE

  3. 2. Laser spectroscopic studies on scattering media - Application to food packages and wood materials

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Fysiska institutionen; Lunds universitet/Atomfysik

    Author : Jim Larsson; [2014]
    Keywords : food packages; absorption spectroscopy; wood; diode lasers; scattering media; Physics and Astronomy;

    Abstract : In this project, an optical technique called gas in scattering media absorption spectroscopy (GASMAS) has been employed to investigate optical properties in scattering media such as food packages and wood materials. The GASMAS technique has been combined with a technique called frequency domain photon migration (FDPM) and from the integrated system the gas absorption signal and total optical path length have been assessed when measuring on milk packages.
