In the United States, roughly 2% of the energy consumed annually is generated from wood and wood-derived fuels. Woody biomass needs to be preprocessed and pretreated before it is used for energy production. Preprocessing and pretreatments improve the physical, chemical, and rheological properties, making them more suitable for feeding, handling, storage transportation, and conversion. Mechanical preprocessing technologies such as size reduction and densification, help improve particle size distribution and density. Thermal pretreatment can reduce grinding energy and torrefied ground biomass has improved sphericity, particle surface area, and particle size distribution. This book focuses on several specific topics, such as understanding how forest biomass for biofuels impacts greenhouse gas emissions; mechanical preprocessing, such as densification of forest residue biomass, to improve physical properties such as size, shape, and density; the impact of thermal pretreatment temperatures on woody biomass chemical composition, physical properties, and microstructure for thermochemical conversions such as pyrolysis and gasification; the grindability of torrefied pellets; use of wood for gasification and as a filter for tar removal; and understanding the pyrolysis kinetics of biomass using thermogravimetric analyzers.History of engineering and technologybicssc2-inch top pine residue + switchgrass blendsagricultural practicesalmond treeAustraliabioenergybiomassbiomass energy potentialchemical compositionco-firingcombustion efficiencycorrelationdry filteremissionenergy consumptionethanolforest biomassfunctional groupsgasificationGHG savingsgrindabilityhalophytesharvest residuesheating valuehybrid genetic algorithmMichiganmicro-structureOLSpelletpellet qualitypellet strengthpelletingpelleting process variablesPhoenix dactyliferaphysical propertiespyrolysisresponse surface modelsSalicornia bigeloviiscanning electron microscopysolid yieldspecific energy consumptionsyngas cleaningtarthermal pretreatmentthermogravimetric analysistimbertorrefactiontorrefied biomasstorrefied biomassultimate analysisvariety and rootstock selectionwoodHistory of engineering and technologyTumuluru Jayaedt1322894Tumuluru JayaothBOOK9910557153203321Woody Biomass for Bioenergy Production3035228UNINA
