バイオマス爆砕システムの開発

抄録

To use the biomass fuel in pulverized coal-fired boilers, it is necessary to reduce the particle size of biomass (< 2 mm). Steam explosion is known as a pretreatment method for rupture biomass fibers. Our group has been conducting research on this steam explosion technique, which is a crushing method applicable to various biomass. This time, the steam explosion test was conducted on cedar chips and rice husks using the demonstration equipment (amount of processing: 50 kg). In this session, we report the difference in crushability and yields depending on the type of biomass and treatment conditions. Using the result in the demonstration test, we will proceed more detailed system design for commercialization.
