TORREFACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MAHOGANY SAWDUST FOR SOLID FUEL PRODUTION
ABSTRACT As interest in biomass utilization into combustion fuels grows, the torrefaction, becomes ever more important. Torrefaction is aimed to maximize energy by removing undesirable components (water, hemicellulose and volatile matter) which cause poor ignition characteristic, excessive smoking and low combustion efficiency when used for energy generation in boilers and blast furnaces.  In  this research, the  effect  of torrefaction on the  physiochemical and combustion characteristic of tropical biomass (Mahogany Sawdust) ...
