Devolatilization studies of oil palm biomass for torrefaction process optimization
Torrefaction of palm biomass, namely Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) and Palm Kernel Shell (PKS), was conducted using thermogravimetric analyser (TGA). The experiment was conducted in variation of temperatures of 200 �C, 260 �C and 300 �C at a constant residence time of 30 minutes. During the torrefaction p...
