Biocarbon, or charcoal, is receiving increased attention as an increasingly important reductant in metallurgical industries, and has as well many others uses, e.g. as high quality fuel or as activated carbon. Traditional ...

The combustion properties of spruce chars and spruce forest residue chars were studied in the kinetic regime by a series of TGA experiments. The work aimed at establishing how the pressure of the char preparation affects ...

In this work, the torrefaction of three biomass materials, black locust wood, wheat, and rape straw, was studied at various temperatures: 200, 225, 250, 275, and 300 °C. The thermal stability and formation of the decomposition ...

In this work the torrefaction of different parts of Norway spruce (stem wood, bark, and stump) was studied. Three different torrefaction temperatures were applied: 225, 275, and 300 °C with 30 and 60 minutes isothermal ...

In the present work, effects of process conditions on char and fixed carbon yields from four woody biomasses were studied. The influence of the particle size, sample mass, and pressure on experimental values of char and ...

The effect of torrefaction severity (temperature and residence time) was studied on the thermal decomposition of different parts of Norway spruce (stem wood, stump, and bark). The volatile content of the torrefied samples ...
