Effect of in-situ torrefaction and densification on the properties of pellets from rice husk and rice straw

Chuanshuai Chen et al.

Summary: This study investigated the influence of torrefaction temperature on biomass and evaluated the quality of pellets. Results showed that 250 degrees C was the optimal torrefaction temperature for rice straw and rice husk, and the in-situ torrefied densified pellets had higher quality compared to raw pellets and ex-situ torrefied densified pellets. Additionally, the bonding mechanism was studied, revealing that in-situ torrefaction and densification facilitated the formation of self-locking and lignin migration between particles.
