Abstract

Recently, biofuels are intensively studied regarding the need of alternative renewable energy sources. Woody biomass has been one of the raw materials which are used in various ways including biofuels. As for biofuels, woody biomass has yet to possess some disadvantages such as bulk dimension, low density, non-uniformity, and high moisture content. Pelletizing has been one of the ways to improve the quality of woody biomass to be a proper biofuel. However, wood pellets also still offer downside such as hygroscopicity. Torrefaction is one of the methods to upgrade pellets quality such as high calorific value, fixed carbon, and hydrophobicity. In this study, merbau wood waste pellets were dry torrefied at a temperature of 200°C and 250°C for 15 and 30 minutes. The data obtained showed that torrefaction applied on merbau wood waste pellets could produce high quality pellets.

提高木屑颗粒质量的焙烧工艺研究

最近，生物燃料正在深入研究关于替代可再生能源的需求。木质生物质已经成为包括生物燃料在内的多种用途的原材料之一。在生物燃料方面，木质生物质还存在体积大、密度低、不均匀、水分含量高等缺点。球团化已成为提高木质生物质质量，使其成为合适的生物燃料的途径之一。然而，木屑颗粒也有吸湿性等缺点。焙烧是提高颗粒高热值、固定碳和疏水性等品质的方法之一。在本研究中，在200°C和250°C的温度下干燥固化木屑颗粒15和30分钟。实验结果表明，对木屑颗粒进行焙烧处理，可以得到高质量的木屑颗粒。

期刊介绍： First published in 1995, the journal Environmental Research, Engineering and Management (EREM) is an international multidisciplinary journal designed to serve as a roadmap for understanding complex issues and debates of sustainable development. EREM publishes peer-reviewed scientific papers which cover research in the fields of environmental science, engineering (pollution prevention, resource efficiency), management, energy (renewables), agricultural and biological sciences, and social sciences. EREM’s topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: environmental research, ecological monitoring, and climate change; environmental pollution – impact assessment, mitigation, and prevention; environmental engineering, sustainable production, and eco innovations; environmental management, strategy, standards, social responsibility; environmental economics, policy, and law; sustainable consumption and education.
