Modeling of Pyrolysis and Gasification of Biomass in Fluidized Beds: A Review
Abstract
Recent surge in interest in biomass conversion in fluidized bed calls for an analysis of the information available on mathematical modeling of this attractive process. Such an analysis could provide a useful base for the development of mathematical tools for design or optimization of fluidized bed gasifiers. This paper analyzes the current reaction kinetics and its application in modeling pyrolysis and gasification of biomass in fluidized beds. This review identifies the knowledge gaps and relevance of different modeling approaches to design and operation of gasifier plants.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
Devolatilization generally occurs once the temperature of biomass is above 200 °C, at which volatiles (both gases and tar) start leaving the solid matrix of biomass.
“It generally occurs once the temperature of the biomass is above 200 °C at which volatiles (both gases and tar) start leaving the solid matrix of biomass (Basu and Kaushal, 2009;van de Weerdhof, 2010).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
