Pyrolysis and Physicochemical, Thermokinetic and Thermodynamic Analyses of (Kunth) Britt and Baker Waste to Evaluate Its Bioenergy Potential.

is an important species in Mexico that generates significant amounts of biomass waste during its exploitation, which can be utilized to produce energy. This study presents the characterization of this waste based on chemical (proximal and elemental) and thermal analyses (TGA-DTG) at different heating rates (β = 10-30 °C/min (283-303 K/min)) in the presence of nitrogen and in a temperature range of 25-900 °C. Kinetic parameters were calculated and analyzed as well.

Chemical and Energetic Characterization of the Wood of : Chemical and Thermogravimetric Methods.

Diverse methodologies exist to determine the chemical composition, proximate analysis, and calorific value of biomass. Researchers select and apply a specific methodology according to the lignocellulosic material they study and the budgetary resources available. In this project, we determined the primary chemical constitution and proximate analysis of (Humb.

DFT Study of Adsorption Behavior of Nitro Species on Carbon-Doped Boron Nitride Nanoribbons for Toxic Gas Sensing.

The modifications of the electronic properties on carbon-doped boron nitride nanoribbons (BNNRs) as a response to the adsorption of different nitro species were investigated in the framework of the density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation. Calculations were performed using the SIESTA code. We found that the main response involved tuning the original magnetic behavior to a non-magnetic system when the molecule was chemisorbed on the carbon-doped BNNR.
