Review of Biomass Size Reduction Technology
نویسنده
چکیده
Biomass size reduction is an important step in biomass densification and this article reviews reduction studies. Hammermilling technology had the advantage of low maintenance over other methods including crushing, shearing and rollermilling. A review of equipment design parameters showed that hammermill tip speed, power requirements, grinding rate, screen size, and clearance affect performance to varying degrees. The effects of biomass tensile and shear properties, moisture content, and biomass density were noted in size reduction processes.

The use of plants to remediate contaminated soil has been the most rapidly developing component in environmental cleansing. Although total concentration of heavy metals in soil is used for regulatory review, it also is beneficial to assess the potential for ecosystem impact through a series of bioassays. One commonly used bioassay is seed germination. In current research study effect of contami...
متن کاملSize Reduction and Densification of Lignocellulosic Biomass Feedstock for Biopower, Bioproducts, and Liquid Biofuel Production
Size reduction and densification of lignocellulosic biomass feedstock play a crucial role in the preprocessing and supply of biomass. Size reduction is an operation where the size distribution of biomass particles is adapted to a level determined by its final use. The purpose of densification is to increase the bulk and inherent energy density of the biomass feedstock, allowing optimization of ...
