Biomass in wood (sawdust) was used in this work due availability in tropical climate and relatively cheap. LHV of torrified sawdust was found to be increases as heating temperature increased, in absence of oxygen content. This is enhanced by way of decomposing the hemicelluloses fraction. The thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) records the changes occurred in fixed carbon, volatile and ash in which it was recorded that an increase of fixed carbon and ash is seen in the increases of temperature and a decrease of volatile is vice versa. The study provides a clearer picture of the result obtained from TGA and HHV which improvise the biomass into higher energy output. 2014-04-01T02:08:33Z 2014-04-01T02:08:33Z 2013 Article Advanced Materials Research, vol. 795, 2013, pages 620-625 978-303785811-0 1022-6680 http://www.scientific.net/AMR.795.620 http://dspace.unimap.edu.my:80/dspace/handle/123456789/33286 en Trans Tech Publications
