Thermogravimetric Evaluation of Torrefaction Parameters on Thermal Properties of a Colombian Woody Biomass

Torrefaction is a thermal pretreatment of biomass whose aim is to eliminate technical barriers of the biomass as an energy source. In this process, the raw biomass is heated in an inert atmosphere at temperatures of 200–300 °C and a low heating rate. Its purpose is converting the biomass into a carb...
