Coupled effect of torrefaction and blending on chemical and energy properties for combustion of major open burned agriculture residues in Thailand [PDF]
, 2018 Thailand is an agriculture-based country. It produces large amounts of open burned agricultural residues. A strategy to use them as biofuel all year round is to enhance their fuel properties by coupling blending and thermochemical pre-treatment.

Periodica Polytechnica Chemical Engineering, 2023 There is an urgent need for replacement of fossil fuels worldwide. Raw biomass has a low energy density, contains too much moisture, can rot, and it is hygroscopic. This paper presents a very prominent thermal technology that could overcome mentioned deficiencies of raw biomass. This technology is known as torrefaction.

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.

Modelling anhydrous weight loss of wood chips during torrefaction in a pilot kiln [PDF]
, 2010 International audienceBeech and spruce chips were torrefied in a batch rotating pilot kiln. For each torrefaction the temperature curve of the moving chips bed was recorded. The anhydrous weight loss (AWL) of each torrefaction was measured.

Torrefaction. Prospects and Application
Chemical Engineering Transactions, 2016 Replacing of fossil fuels to biomass, including partial replacement (achieved with co-firing of coal and biomass) is one of the priority problems of modern power producing. In addition to the energy aspects, this is important in terms of reducing harmful man-made impact of fuel and energy sector on the ecological situation.

Effects of Torrefaction on Particle Size Distribution of Corn Stover [PDF]
, 2012 Mild pyrolysis, or torrefaction, is a thermochemical pretreatment for biomass used to address these issues. In this process, biomass is heated in an oxygen-free environment at temperatures of 200-300°C.
