Pelletization and quality evaluation of torrefied selected biomass with microwave absorber by Obiora S. Agu, Lope G. Tabil, Edmund Mupondwa, Bagher Emadi, Duncan Cree

“…The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the pellet ash revealed that adding HDPE increased the carbon and decreased the oxygen contents. Thus, the oxygen/carbon ratio had similarities to ash from the XPS and elemental analysis results and exhibited uniform chemical properties between the ash surface and torrefied yield fraction ash. …”
