Thermochemical processes, which include pyrolysis, torrefaction, gasification, combustion, and hydrothermal conversions, are perceived to be more efficient in converting waste biomass to energy and value-added products compared to biochemical processes. From the chemical point of view, thermochemical processes are highly complex and sensitive to numerous physicochemical properties, thus making reactor and process modeling more challenging. A team of researchers from Sri Lanka has dedicated their paper, entitled “Modeling of thermochemical conversion of waste biomass – A comprehensive review”, to scrutinizing the challenges associated with reactor optimization and designs. They have reviewed and critically discussed the modeling of thermochemical processes consisting of kinetic modeling and reactor modeling for waste biomass. Modeling and simulation is a great tool for understanding these complex phenomena. There are many modeling studies conducted in the field of thermochemical conversion of waste biomass. This review study investigates all these important aspects and features of the existing models for all established industrial thermochemical conversion processes emphasizing waste biomass and presenting commercial-scale applicability in terms of reactor designing, process control, and optimization, and potential ways to upgrade existing models for higher accuracy. This paper was published in the December 2021 issue of Biofuel Research Journal, and we would like to invite you to read the full article for free on the journal’s website at www.biofueljournal.com.10.18331/BRJ2021.8.4.3
