Upgrading of Olive Tree Trimmings Residue as Biofuel by Hydrothermal Carbonization and Torrefaction: a Comparative Study

A comparative study of hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) in a 50 ml batch reactor and low temperature pyrolysis (LTP) in a fixed bed reactor was carried out on olive tree trimming residue with the goal of obtaining solid biofuels with higher energetic properties. Olive tree trimmings (OT) milled and...
