Torrefaction is a thermal process that improves the energy properties of plant biomass pellets, providing greater biofuel efficiency for gasification technologies, as well as replacing coal in thermoelectric plants. In ...

Pilot scale sintering experiments were performed, aiming at comparing the quality of the sinter produced from a reference sintering blend with that of sinters resulting from other blends, in which the sinter feed in the ...

Multivariate statistics can be a powerful tool in the assessment of energy properties of lignocellulosic materials and it is fundamental to estimate the theoretical, technical and economic potentials of these biomasses for ...

The production of pellets by Aspergillus niger and the FePO 4 (FeP) solubilization through the use of free or immobilized spores and pellets were studied. The media Sabouraud, MS-FeP, MS-K 2HPO 4, Czapek and Malt were used ...

This study it describes, in form of literature review, the main contributions of studies related to the wood pellets use as renewable power plant. The advantages of this material can conveniently be explained by means of ...

Pilot sintering tests were performed in order to compare production parameters and quality of sinters produced based on Western Europe and Asia standard mixtures, with sinters produced from the addition of Samarcos pellet ...
