Biomass pretreatment
•
Mechanical pretreatment
•
Torrefaction
•
HTC
•
Steam explosion
– heating biomass under high pressure steam
– sudden release of pressure assuring explosive decompression
– Typical conditions:
• Pressure: 1.2-1.7 MPa
• Temperature: 170-250
o
C
• Time: 10sec-10min
– limited energy consumption
– low use of chemicals

Ultimate result
Opening
possibilities
Hemicellulose &
cellulose de-
polymerization
Low thermal stability
1-5
Early thermal degradation
+
Low temperature
operations possible
Altered lignin
structure
Release of minerals
Low alkali metal content and low ash
content
High ash fusion temperature
+
High temperature
operations possible
Less reactive
-
Need longer bed
(high H/D ratio)
Release of
hemicellulose to
solution
Low hemicellulose
content
Reduced volatiles
Less hydroxyl
groups
3
Hydrophobic
+
Transportation and
storage easiness
Less amorphous
structures (High
crystallinity)
6
Heat diffusion limitations
7
-
High temperature
operation suitable
Reduced O content
Low O/C and H/C (moving close
to peat region)
+
Co-gasification
possible
High lignin
content
High C content
High heating
value
High energy
density
+
Positive in
transportation and
storage
Disintegration of
biomass
Fine particles
High pellet density
High bulk
density
+
Compact reactor
High impact and
abrasive resistance
8
Higher durability
+
Handling easiness
Energy- and Furnace Technology

Background
•
Mostly focus on ultimate use as
fermentation to ethanol
•
Several studies based on combustion of
fermentation residue
•
Some studies on thermochemical behaviour
•
Thermal application is lacking
