Abstract

Torrefaction is a low temperature thermal treatment originally for lignocellulosic biomass. When lignocellulosic biomass undergoes thermal treatment at temperatures between 200 and 350°C, light carbonization of the biomass occurs, and bring several features to the treated biomass. Recently non- and low-lignocellulosic biomass started to be used for this treatment. This may lead to diversification of raw materials of torrefaction. The present paper aims to review torrefaction behavior of certain types of non- and low-lignocellulosic biomass (fruits, vegetables, crops, meats, some other types of food residues and their mixtures) by comparing them with lignocellulosic biomass, in terms of the mass yield, HHV ratio and energy yield.
