Two low-value agro-industrial residues, passion fruit peel waste (PF) and pineapple peel
waste (PA), were considered in this study as feedstocks to produce solid biofuels by …

The study examined the modifications in the thermo-physical and chemical structure of
Tectona grandis (TK) and Sorghum bicolour stalk residues that occurred during the process …

Torrefaction is a promising pretreatment technology for valorizing biomass and upgrading
pyrolysis products. This study sets out an original procedure consisting of subjecting the …

Torrefaction as a thermal pretreatment was conducted on oat hull, canola hull, and barley
straw in a fixed-bed reactor at temperatures in the range of 220–300° C and residence times …

Biomass torrefaction is a simple and appropriate thermo-chemical treatment/conversion
process for upgrading agricultural residues to a high-quality fuel, which could be used as an …

A novel gas-pressurized (GP) torrefaction of biomass waste was proposed in our recent
work to deeply upgrade the biomass under the pressure of 5 MPa prior to their subsequent …

To date, few studies on the potential utilization of agricultural residue torrefaction products
have been performed. Thus, torrefaction product characterization aimed at its potential …

This thesis addresses the question of how the chemistry and reaction kinetics of torrefaction
are influenced by reaction conditions and the effects occuring during the reaction. This …

A novel gas-pressurized (GP) torrefaction with high oxygen removal efficiency at mild
temperature was proposed in our previous work. However, the optimal condition of the GP …

The torrefaction process upgrades biomass characteristics and produces solid biofuels that
are coal-like in their properties. Kinetics analysis is important for the determination of the …
