Rice Husk Energy Content Enhancement by the Torrefaction Process: Characterization and Statistical Studies
Abstract: Torrefaction is the partial pyrolysis of biomass at atmospheric pressure, in an inert environment. The objective of this study is to torrefy the rice husk of Ethiopian origin in order to enhance its energy density. The optimum torrefaction temperature, holding time, and acid concentration were investigated in this study by the three-level-three-factor Box-Behnken Design (BBD) using the Design-Expert 7.0.0 software.

Towards Green Energy: Assessing Biomass Densification Technologies for Power Generation
Abstract: Technologies for biomass densification have become essential for improving the profitability and efficiency of biomass-based energy production. This thorough review article examines several biomass densification-related topics, such as the technologies involved, process variables, benefits, difficulties, and possible uses. We explore the basic ideas behind biomass densification, including torrefaction, briquetting, and palletization, and we talk about the factors that affect their efficacy as well as their mechanisms. Furthermore, we examine the …
