Theoretical and Applied Aspects of Biomass TorrefactionFor Biofuels and Value-Added Products\nAuthor(s): Stephen Gent, Michael Twedt, Christina Gerometta, Evan Almberg\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Elsevier - Health Sciences Division, United States\nImprint: Butterworth-Heinemann Inc\nISBN-13: 9780128094839, 978-0128094839\nSynopsis\nTheoretical and Applied Aspects of Biomass Torrefaction: For Biofuels and Value-Added Products presents a firm foundation of torrefaction technologies and their economic and sustainability aspects. It offers a theoretical background in the underlying principles of torrefaction reactions, including thermodynamics, chemical reactions, process modeling, end-products, and value-added products such as biochar and torr-gas. It also provides an overview of best practices in torrefaction systems, reactor design and scale-up, and compares torrefaction with other thermochemical processing technologies. The authors discuss feedstock availability for a variety of .
