Microwave Torrefaction of Oat Hull: Effect of Temperature and Residence Time

open access: yesEnergies, 2021
Microwave torrefaction of oat hull was conducted to enhance its physicochemical properties. A bench-top reactor with an internal stirrer was used for oat hull pretreatment at temperatures of 225 °C, 255 °C, and 285 °C, and residence times of 3, 6, and 9 ...
