TORREFACTION OF OIL PALM FROND LEAVES AND STEMS UNDER COMBUSTION GAS AND INERT NITROGEN ATMOSPHERES

Torrefaction is a low temperature thermal pretreatment of lignocellulosic biomass at temperatures between 200 and 300 °C under an inert environment, which has been shown tobe effective for enhancing the quality of the biomass for use not only as a solid fuel, such as its energy conten...
