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. 606 $aHistory of engineering & technology$2bicssc 610 $agrindability 610 $atorre?ed biomass 610 $apellet 610 $aenergy consumption 610 $aco-?ring 610 $abiomass 610 $agasification 610 $atar 610 $asyngas cleaning 610 $adry filter 610 $apyrolysis 610 $achemical composition 610 $amicro-structure 610 $aphysical properties 610 $ascanning electron microscopy 610 $awood 610 $athermal pretreatment 610 $atorrefaction 610 $atimber 610 $aharvest residues 610 $aethanol 610 $aGHG savings 610 $aMichigan 610 $avariety and rootstock selection 610 $aalmond tree 610 $aagricultural practices 610 $ahalophytes 610 $aPhoenix dactylifera 610 $aSalicornia bigelovii 610 $athermogravimetric analysis 610 $atorrefied biomass 610 $acorrelation 610 $aultimate analysis 610 $asolid yield 610 $aheating value 610 $aOLS 610 $a2-inch top pine residue + switchgrass blends 610 $apelleting process variables 610 $apellet quality 610 $aspecific energy consumption 610 $aresponse surface models 610 $ahybrid genetic algorithm 610 $apelleting 610 $afunctional groups 610 $apellet strength 610 $acombustion efficiency 610 $aforest biomass 610 $aAustralia 610 $abiomass energy potential 610 $aemission 610 $abioenergy 615 7$aHistory of engineering & technology 700 $aTumuluru$b Jaya$4edt$01322894 702 $aTumuluru$b Jaya$4oth 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910557153203321 996 $aWoody Biomass for Bioenergy Production$93035228 997 $aUNINA
