Torrefaction of kraft pulp mills sludges. [PDF]

Sci Rep, 2023
AbstractTorrefaction emerges as an industrial process that increases the energy content of conventional biomass. Primary and secondary sludge are the main solid residues generated in the Effluent Treatment Plants of bleached kraft pulp mills, and can be considered as biomass. Typically, these wastes are sent to industrial landfills.
