Development of a Newly Designed Combined Grinding Equipment

As acknowledged, biomass has been identified as the most promising alternative replacing fossil fuel due to its sustainability. Grinding is known to be essential to reduce size of biomass samples to produce products with enhanced strength and durability. Some of the commonly used devices include h...
