Spring 2019

Zhu, Chengyong

Torrefaction is a thermal pretreatment of woody biomass in a temperature range of 200-300 ℃ without air or oxygen, which leads to a heating value for the woody biomass that is closer to that of coal, and also improves hydrophobicity. Torrefied wood pellets could improve co-firing rate with coal...
