Evaluation of Infrared Radiation Combined with Hot Air Convection for Energy-Efficient Drying of Biomass

Cost-effective biomass drying is a key challenge for energy recovery from biomass by direct combustion, gasification, and pyrolysis. The aim of the present study was to optimize the process of biomass drying using hot air convection (HA), infrared (IR), and combined drying systems (IR-HA). The speci...
