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 …

Biomass has the potential to replace conventional fuels in a number of applications,
particularly in biofuel production. It is an abundantly available renewable material with great …

Fluidized bed gasification is a promising process technology to manage the growing amount
of sewage sludge (SS) requiring disposal. Two samples of SS, produced in different …

When fossil fuel substitution with biomass is viewed as a potential solution to global
warming caused by greenhouse gas emissions, the demand for biomass fuel pellets has …

The effect of different pre-treatments method on the gasification efficiency of grass biomass
have not previously been evaluated. In this study, the effect of three different pre-treatment …

In the present study, a modified equilibrium model was developed by Aspen Plus to simulate
the gasification of biosolids (treated sewage sludge) in an atmospheric fluidized bed reactor …

Biomass from agriculture is a promising alternative fuel due to its carbon-neutral feature.
However, raw biomass does not have properties required for its direct utilization for energy …

Previous studies have attempted to explain forces holding particles together in densified
biomass pellets using theories of forces of attraction between solid particles, forces of …

A large portion of food loss and waste (FSL) is comprised of seeds and stones. Exotic fruits
such as mangoes, lychees and avocados, in which the seeds account for a significant part of …

This review deals with the simulation and optimization of the dry-and wet-torrefaction
processes of lignocellulosic biomass. The torrefaction pretreatment regards the production …
