Cover Story: The torrefaction of biomass (white spruce sawdust) produces solid carbon, condensable (torrefaction liquid (TL)), and non-condensable gases. The properties of the torrefied feedstock are associated with the structural decomposition of hemicellulose, cellulose, and lignin during torrefaction. Although the physiochemical properties of feedstock improved after torrefaction, the tensile strength of pelleted torrefied feedstock decreased with increased torrefaction severity. Therefore, to enhance the tensile strength of the pellets, a binder was added during pelletization. TL was introduced as a binder, and it helped to partially close the product cycle potentially making the torrefaction process economically viable. View this paper
