Abstract
Our goal was to explore the potential of bamboo as a solid biomass fuel through torrefaction and compare it with previous studies on unused forest biomass chips. The torrefaction process involved temperatures of 230–310 °C increased in 20 °C intervals, each lasting an hour. Significant differences in mass were evident between the 270 and 290 °C processing conditions during thermogravimetric analysis. Differential thermogravimetric analysis showed that both the initial and peak temperatures increased with higher processing temperatures. The mass yield ranged from 32.37 to 76.74%, and the calorific value varied from 19.50 MJ/kg to 28.68 MJ/kg. Compared to previous studies on the torrefaction of Liriodendron tulipifera and Pinus koraiensis, bamboo exhibited a relatively lower mass yield and calorific value; however, it was considered suitable compared to unused forest biomass wood chips. The optimal conditions for torrefaction were found to be 270 °C during processing.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Material Cycles and Waste Management has a twofold focus: research in technical, political, and environmental problems of material cycles and waste management; and information that contributes to the development of an interdisciplinary science of material cycles and waste management. Its aim is to develop solutions and prescriptions for material cycles.
The journal publishes original articles, reviews, and invited papers from a wide range of disciplines related to material cycles and waste management.
The journal is published in cooperation with the Japan Society of Material Cycles and Waste Management (JSMCWM) and the Korea Society of Waste Management (KSWM).
