摘要：Biomass torrefaction is a pre-treatment method carried out at 200-300°C in controlled atmospheric conditions. The occurring decomposition reactions at this temperature level cause the biomass to become completely dried and to loose its tenacious and fibrous structure. Therewith the grindability of the subjected biomass is improved significantly. In addition, torrefaction increases the calorific value and the biomass, its hygroscopic nature can be destructed to yield a hydrophobic material. Depending on the applied torrefaction conditions,
