Abstract:

As an important part of renewable energy, biomass resources have a wide range of sources. However, large-scale application is limited due to the properties of biomass, such as dispersion, low bulk density, low calorific value, and high hygroscopicity. Solid briquette fuel is one of the important ways to promote the large-scale application of biomass, which can replace coal and other fossil fuels. As one of the pretreatment methods to improve the physical and chemical properties of briquette fuel, torrefaction can improve the hydrophobicity of biomass briquette fuel and optimize its physical and chemical properties, which is a research hot topic at home and abroad. In this paper, the factors of torrefaction pretreatment and characteristics of torrefaction products were summarized, the factors and the lignin bonding mechanism of the pelletization process were analyzed, the influence of torrefaction pretreatment on the preparation of clean solid fuel was described, and the application of torrefaction and upgrading solid fuel process was prospected. This paper provides reference for promoting the development and application of biomass briquette fuel in China.
