Two correlations were used, both of which depend on the knowledge of ash content determined by a proximate analysis and the elemental compositions of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, sulfur, phosphorous, and chlorine obtained from an ultimate analysis.
Compared with the results obtained with a proximate analysis method, the results calculated with the soft sensing method are consistent with proximate analysis data.
TGA/DTG analysis provides a means for conducting proximate analysis of the samples as well as the preliminary mechanistic studies of the biomass pyrolysis process.

This work introduces a general correlation, based on proximate analysis of solid fuels, to calculate HHV, using 450 data points and validated further for additional 100 data points.
This work introduces a general correlation, based on proximate analysis of biomass materials, to calculate elemental composition, derived using 200 data points and validated further for additional 50 data points.
In the present study, a predictive model based on proximate analysis of biomass input has been applied on experimental results from three agricultural residues (olive tree cuttings, rapeseed residues and soya residues) which have been pyrolyzed and gasified in a captive sample (fast pyrolysis) and a fixed bed reactor respectively.
This study deals with a new method to calculate the GHV from the proximate analysis of different kinds of lignocellulosic fuels by using Levenberg Marquardt trained artificial neural network (ANN) as an artificial intelligence method.
