Physicochemical Properties of Biochar Produced from Goldenrod Plants.

Torrefaction is one of the methods of thermal treatment of biomass, which allows obtaining a product of better quality in the form of biochar. The aim of the paper was to analyze the possibility of using goldenrod , ) for the production of biochar. The torrefaction process involved the vegetative and generative parts as well as the whole plant at temperatures of 250 °C and 275 °C, for 3 h.

Values of Selected Strength Parameters of Miscanthus × Giganteus Stalk Depending on Water Content and Internode Number.

So far, there are no results for research on the biomechanical parameters of giant miscanthus stalks taking into account both the influence of moisture content and the internode, from which the samples were taken. Therefore, the aim of the research was to comprehensively investigate the influence of the internode number (NrNod) and water content (MC) on the values of selected biomechanical parameters (modulus of elasticity and maximum stress) determined using various stress tests (three-point bending and compression along the fibers). The research was carried out for dry stalks of different humidities and for different internodes.

Effect of Compaction Pressure and Moisture Content on Post-Agglomeration Elastic Springback of Pellets.

Renewable energy sources (RES) represent an increasing share of global energy production. Biomass has the highest potential of all RES. Biomass is used to produce solid biofuels, liquid biofuels, and gaseous biofuels.
