Effect of Using Inert and Non-Inert Gases on the Thermal Degradation and Fuel Properties of Biomass in the Torrefaction and Pyrolysis Region
The research presented focuses on the use of Carbon-dioxide (CO₂), Nitrogen (N₂) and Argon (Ar) as purge gases for torrefaction. Torrefaction using CO₂ as a purge gas may further improve the fuel characteristics of the torrefied fuel when compared to N₂ and Ar (which are entirely inert), making it b...
