The influence of torrefaction temperature and reaction time on the properties of torrefied sun‐dried millet and sorghum straws from the arid and semi‐arid zones of western Africa

Abstract: There are increasing demands for syngas production. Fossil-based fuels are expensive and environmentally unfriendly. Affordable, sustainable, and environmentally healthy alternatives and sustainable fuel sources are needed. This study focused on producing tor-chars from two different tropical biomasses (from Nigeria, West Africa), which were torrefied and characterized to improve their properties for potential use as sustainable feedstocks in an entrained flow gasifier for syngas production. Torrefaction tempe… Show more

“…Important variables that affect how well the process works and how long it takes are the residence time and the torrefaction temperature (Ajikashile et al, 2023). Given that torrefaction is carried out at 200°C to 300°C and that hemicellulose and cellulose have corresponding thermal breakdown temperatures of 220°C to 315°C and 315°C to 400°C.…”
