• A review of wood thermal pretreatments to improve wood composite properties (2013, unknown): “Torrefaction, also known as mild pyrolysis (Inari et al. 2007), low temperature pyrolysis (Yan et al. 2009), or thermal rectification (Gohar and Guyonnet 1998; Weiland and Guyonnet 2003), occurs when wood is heated in the presence of inert gases at temperatures between 200 and 300 C, without using…”
• Pelletization of biochar from hydrothermally carbonized wood (2012, methodology): “The final solid product of the fiber analysis is nothing but lignin and ash, since it is stirred in 72% sulfuric acid for 4 h [5].”
• Torrefaction and co-torrefaction characterization of hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin as well as (2011, background): “[15] reported that increasing temperature resulted in decreased mass yield and increased densification of torrefied biomass, and resulted in a solid with increased carbon content, decreased oxygen content and decreased volatiles.”
• Effect of hydrothermal carbonization reaction parameters on the properties of hydrochar and pellets (2014, methodology): “Following a standard method for ash determination in biomass, the solid sample was first dried at 105 C for 24 h and then brought to constant weight by heating at 575 C for 5 h in a muffle furnace [5].”
• Effect of Torrefaction Process Parameters on Biomass Feedstock Upgrading (2010, background): “…of biorefineries is heterogeneity of feedstock, considering not only different types of biomass, for example demolition wood, agricultural residues, and dedicated energy crops, or different plant species, but also same plant species grown in different areas (Yan et al., 2009; Bergman et al., 2005).”
• Upgrading of waste biomass by hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) and low temperature pyrolysis (LTP): A comparative evaluation (2014, background): “For example, loblolly pine was treated by HTC and LTP and the resultant biochars showed increased fixed carbon content and elevated energy density [4].”
• An evaluation on improvement of pulverized biomass property for solid fuel through torrefaction (2011, background): “As a consequence, another important characteristic accompanied by torrefaction is that the heating value of torrefied biomass is always higher than its parent biomass [24].”
