Experimental Study of Wood Chips Torrefaction in a Pilot-scale Rotary Kiln

This work aims to study the beech chips torrefaction in a continuous pilot-scale rotary kiln. The effects of operating parameters – temperature, residence time and solid hold-up – on the temperature profile of the solid bed along the kiln and the process mass yield are evaluated. It has been verifie...
