A Comparative Study on the Carbon Products from Hydrothermal Carbonization and Torrefaction Process Using Wood Fiber Waste

Wood fiber waste is the one important biomass energy source to convert to value added product which is carbon particles. Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is the effective method to convert this biomass into carbon particles. The undesirable properties of biomass such as high moisture content and its...

Hydrothermal carbonization (HTC) is the effective method to convert this biomass into carbon particles. The undesirable properties of biomass such as high moisture content and its heterogeneous nature pose a barrier to its competitiveness in the energy generation market.

Based on the analysed, the product with higher energy density, low moisture content was produced from Torrefaction process. Torrefaction process produced lowest moisture content product which is about 3.99% to 4.47%. Ash content also shows that torrefaction process produced product with lowest percentage ash content compared to HTC and raw of wood fiber waste.
