Comparison of regression techniques for generating surrogate models to predict the thermodynamic behavior of biomass gasification systems

François Maréchal, Daniel Alexander Florez Orrego, Meire Ellen Gorete Ribeiro Domingos, Julia Granacher

Biomass resources can play an important role in the energy transition, being a dynamic feedstock that can be transformed either into solid, liquid or gaseous fuels. Biomass gasification is a versatile way to convert waste into energy. In this work, the mod ...

Rapid transformation of wildfire emissions to harmful background aerosol

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Wildfires are a significant source of organic aerosol during summer, with major impacts on air quality and climate. However, studies in Europe suggest a surprisingly low (less than 10%) contribution of biomass burning organic aerosol to average summertime ...

Improvements in Resolution of 1H NMR of Solids

David Lyndon Emsley, Bruno Simões de Almeida

Magic angle spinning (MAS) in 1H NMR has allowed progress from featureless spectra in static samples to linewidths of a few hundreds of Hertz for powdered solids at the fastest spinning rates available today (100-150 kHz). While this is a remarkable improv ...

Chemical evolution of primary and secondary biomass burning aerosols during daytime and nighttime

Athanasios Nenes, Satoshi Takahama, Spyros Pandis, Amir Yazdani

Fine particulate matter (PM) affects visibility, climate, and public health. Biomass burning (BB) in the forms of residential wood burning, wildfires, and prescribed burning is a major source of primary and secondary organic matter (OM, an important fracti ...

Secondary aerosol formation during the dark oxidation of residential biomass burning emissions

Athanasios Nenes, Spyros Pandis

Particulate matter from biomass burning emissions affects air quality, ecosystems and climate; however, quantifying these effects requires that the connection between primary emissions and secondary aerosol production is firmly established. We performed at ...
