Microwave-assisted co-pyrolysis of Bamboo biomass with plastic waste for hydrogen-rich syngas production

Concerns about diminishing fossil fuels and increasing greenhouse gas emissions are driving many countries to develop renewable energy sources. The knowledge of the dielectric property is essential to design and develop microwave technology for processing biomass materials. Bamboo biomass was subjec...
