Replacing fossil fuels with renewable biofuels derived from lignocellulosic biomass is an
important aspect of addressing environmental challenges and developing a sustainable …

In the context of the energy crisis, biomass energy has been widely used owing to its wide
distribution, astonishing storage capacity, and carbon neutrality. Pelletization is an …

The co-pelletizing characteristics of torrefied wheat straw and peanut shell with adding water
were investigated. The physicochemical and friction characteristics of biochar were …

The effects and mechanism of ball milling on the torrefaction process were studied. Ball-and
hammer-milled (screen size 1 mm) pine sawdust samples were torrefied at three …

Densification of lignocellulosic biomass is beneficial for its logistics, and in some situations,
also for its application in biorefineries. In this study, industrial pellets and laboratory-made …

Bean straw briquettes exhibited high quality in terms of density, impact resistance and
compressive strength. The impact resistance was above 96% for a particle size up to 4 mm …

Pyrolysis is increasingly used for raw biomass conversion. In this study, the effects of rod-
milling pretreatment (RMP) on the physicochemical properties and pyrolysis characteristics …

Pelleting overcomes the utilization limitation of lignocellulosic biomass due to its low density
and related processing costs. Efficiently combining biomass pelleting and enzymatic …

We present here that peanut shell, an underutilized agro-residue, is suitable for the isolation
of xylan and the production of prebiotic xylooligosaccharides (XOS). Two different alkaline …

The paper presents the results of the pelletization (agglomeration) tests of post-harvest
tobacco waste as a feedstock for fuel pellet production. The experiment was conducted on a …
