Biomass Torrefaction Process, Product Properties, Reactor Types, and Moving Bed Reactor Design Concepts

Torrefaction, a thermal pretreatment process, is gaining attention as it improves the physical properties and chemical composition of biomass for recycling. During torrefaction, biomass is heated slowly in an inert or oxygen-deficit environment to a maximum temperature of 300°C. The torrefaction pro...
