Biomass pretreatment is an essential step prior to several thermochemical conversion
processes. Wet torrefaction, a biomass pretreatment method in hydrothermal media or hot …

This paper provides a fundamental and critical review of biomass application as renewable
reductant in integrated ferroalloy reduction process. The basis for the review is based on the …

Sustainable production of lignocellulosic biofuels requires a sufficient supply of biomass
feedstocks. Agave and Opuntia represent highly water-use efficient bioenergy crops that are …

The pyrolysis of Norway spruce and birch woods under nitrogen atmosphere was studied by
means of a thermogravimetric analyzer operated in the non-isothermal mode, followed by a …

Global climate change is predicted to increase heat, drought, and soil-drying conditions, and
thereby increase crop sensitivity to water vapour pressure deficit, resulting in productivity …

This work continues our assessment of wet torrefaction for energy applications, looking at
effects of the process parameters (temperature, holding time and pressure) on the reactivity …

Hot-water extraction (HWE) is a biomass processing method that offers an excellent
possibility to generate multiple value-added products. In this study, the pellets were …

This study investigated the potential of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) using the inherent
moisture (50% wet basis) of wheat straw for improving the undesirable characteristics of …

Trends in the production and applications of torrefied wood/biomass are reviewed in this
article. The thermochemical conversion of biomass is a promising technology because …

Rice husk is a carbon neutral and renewable source of energy and a biomaterial precursor,
abundantly available at no cost. High ash content of rice husk is problematic for both …
