Optimization of Torrefaction Conditions of Coffee

Biomass roasting, for example, wood or grain, is a light form of pyrolysis at temperatures typically between 200 and 320 ° C. Roasting changes the properties of biomass to provide better fuel quality for combustion and gasification applications. Roasting produces a dry product with no biological activity, such as decomposition. roasting combined with densification creates a high energy density fuel transporter of 20-21 GJ / t lower calorific value (ICP). Roasting causes the material to experience Maillard reactions. Biomass can be an important source of energy. However, nature provides a great diversity of biomass with different characteristics. To create highly efficient biomass energy chains, biomass roasting in combination with densification (granulation or briquetting) is a promising step to overcome sustainable energy solutions from the large-scale logistics economy, ie, easy transportation and storage. Pellets or briquettes are lighter, drier and more stable in storage than...
