Torrefaction of Rice Husk using TG-FTIR and its Effect on the Fuel Characteristics, Carbon, and Energy Yields

A torrefaction testing method using TG-FTIR is presented, ensuring accuracy of torrefaction temperature and time. Torrefaction experiments of rice husk were performed at different temperatures (200, 230, 260, and 290 °C) for 30 min. The effect of torrefaction on the fuel characteristics was studied....
