Torrefaction is a developing thermal process that has mainly been used to convert
lignocellulosic feedstocks, both cultured and wasted, into a “charred” product that can be …

Biochar refers to the carbonaceous black solid residue product obtained from the
thermochemical decomposition of waste biomass typically under oxygen-limited …

The depletion of fossil fuel reserves and greenhouse gas emissions led to limit the use of
fossil fuels, including natural gas, coal, or petroleum, and demand a clean and sustainable …

The kinetic and thermochemical models for poplar wood torrefaction were developed in the
present work. The torrefaction kinetic model satisfactorily fitted the experimental …

The aim of the present study is to analyze the influence of independent process variables
such as temperature, residence time, and heating rate on the torrefaction process of coffee …

Sugarcane is the top produced crop in the Philippines (∼ 32.4 MT/yr), generating∼ 5.1
MT/yr of dry sugarcane bagasse (SCB) each year. However, fuel characteristics of SCB are …

Worldwide, the annual energy content of sugarcane leaves (SCL) amounts to 4.21 EJ.
However, its direct use as a solid fuel is hindered by its inherent characteristics, such as its …

This study investigated the effects of torrefaction temperatures and dilute acid pretreatment
on the quality of pyrolysis bio-oil and the distribution toward gaseous, liquid bio-oil, and char …

The temperature would oscillate when the industrial flue gas was used as the heat source
for biomass torrefaction. In order to explore the influence of temperature oscillation on …

This work describes the conversion of sugarcane leaves into biocoal with two thermal
processes: wet torrefaction (subcritical water, 175–250° C) and dry torrefaction (nitrogen …
