Torrefaction: Process Parameters and Reactor Design
Milica Djurdjevic, Saša Papuga
Abstract
Torrefaction is a thermochemical process, where biomass is obtained in temperature range from from 200 to 300 °C, in inert atmosphere with the aim to increase carbon content of biomass. In this paper, emphasis is on biomass feedstock types, different effects on torrefaction success, and torrefaction reactors.
