Nutrient Recovery from Digestate of Agricultural Biogas Plants: A Comparative Study of Innovative Biocoal-Based Additives in Laboratory and Full-Scale Experiments [PDF]
Molecules, 2022 Nutrients can be recovered from the digestate of an agricultural biogas plant in the form of solid fraction and serve as crop fertilizers. Removal of suspended solids with screw press separators is the most commonly used technique for treating digestate ...

Xylose production and the associated integration for biocoal production
Energy Conversion and Management: X, 2021 Xylose is the second most abundantly available sugar in nature next to glucose. It is one of the hemicellulose based (C5) sugars and is often discarded during the conversion of lignocellulosic biomass to biofuels.

Torrefaction as a process for biomass conversion into biocoal [PDF]
Tehnika, 2017 Torrefaction is a thermo-chemical treatment of biomass carried out within a temperature range from 250ºC to 300ºC, in an inert atmosphere. The process can be described as a mild form of pyrolysis.

Biocoal - Quality control and assurance [PDF]
Biomass and Bioenergy, 2020 Torrefied biomass is said to have potential as a replacement for coal. One of the main goals of torrefaction is to make biomass resemble coal more in terms of its properties as a solid fuel. As a fuel, a novel fuel that is produced by thermal treatment of raw biomass, biocoal has to comply with the regulations of solid fuels from different regulatory ...

An “In-Situ Binding” Approach to Produce Torrefied Biomass Briquettes [PDF]
Bioengineering, 2019 Biomass-derived coal or “biocoal” produced using a torrefaction process presents a carbon-neutral option of coal for power generation. While torrefaction delivers a carbon content and hydrophobicity comparable to coal, it lowers its density ...

Ranking of selected residues for biocoal production: Case of Thailand
International Journal of Energy Research, 1990 This paper presents a brief discussion of the annual production of ten agricultural and forestry residues, the biocoal production process, biocoal production costs, the ranking procedure, and finally the rank allocated to those residues that are economically viable for commercial biocoal production.
