The purpose of this study is to develop "Semi-carbonized Bio-solid Fuels" used in the pulverized coal fired power plant. Experimental studies on formability of molded fuel and thermo-fluid phenomena of woody biomass are conducted to clarify the optimum molding conditions. The experimental results obtained are as follows. (1) Thermo-fluid phenomena of woody biomass: The occurrence temperature of thermo-fluid phenomena decreases as the molding pressure and the water content are increased. (2)Compression molding of semi-carbonized material: Rise in the molding temperature and the water content of woody biomass improve formability of molded fuel. It is found that the optimum molding conditions are closely related to the occurrence of Thermo-fluid phenomena of woody biomass.
