Grindability of torrefied wood chips and wood pellets
Fuel Processing Technology, 2018 Abstract Torrefaction of biomass improves the grindability of raw biomass by the transformation from a fibrous structure to a more brittle and friable, coal-like material. Torrefied biomass is a more desirable feedstock for co-firing applications, especially in existing coal-fired power plants.

Air gasification of wood chips, wood pellets and grass pellets in a bubbling fluidized bed reactor
Energy, 2021 Abstract Gasification is an attractive method for biomass-to-energy conversion and fluidized bed design is one of the best options for large scale operation. A bubbling fluidized bed reactor was used to analyze the effects of biomass type, equivalence ratio (ER) and temperature for product gas compositions.

Emissions and combustion characteristics of torrefied wood pellets
BioResources, 2023 The influence of torrefaction temperature on the durability, combustion characteristics, and emissions of CO, CO2, NOX, and particulate matter (PM) from biomass pellets was studied. The pellets were torrefied under inert conditions at 225, 250, and 300 °C for 60 min.

Derivation and characterization of retinal pigment epithelium from urine‐derived iPSCs
FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.Age‐related macular degeneration causes vision loss via RPE dysfunction and loss. Traditional iPSC therapies rely on invasive biopsies, limiting scalability. Here, we utilize urine‐derived stem cells as an accessible source to generate u‐iPSCs, successfully differentiated into pigmented RPE. This “Urine‐to‐Retina” platform provides a promising path for
