Factors affecting wood, energy grass and straw pellet durability – A review (2017, background): “, [26] found that Scots pine pellets, which contain more lipophilic extractives (5%), had much lower durability than beech (less than 1%).”
The role of lignin in wood working processes using elevated temperatures: an abbreviated literature survey (2020, background): “Increasing the temperature and moisture content (MC) decreased the energy requirements for pellet manufacturing (Nielsen et al. 2009).”
Fuel pellets from biomass: The importance of the pelletizing pressure and its dependency on the processing conditions (2011, unknown): “The pelletizing parameters studied were temperature, moisture content [17], fiber orientation [15], raw material extractive content [18] and their change during storage time [16].”
Colorimetric patterns of wood pellets and their relations with quality and energy parameters (2014, background): “Tree species and wood provenance has been found to influence the pelletizing process [8], and the final pellet quality [9,10], especially if related with the sawdust particle size distribution and its content in fatty acids [11,12].”
Pelletization of wood and alternative residual biomass blends for producing industrial quality pellets (2019, background): “The raw materials used for biomass pellet production today are mainly wood residues, including sawdust from primary and secondary wood processing industries, wood shavings and wood chips [2].”
