ABSTRACT This research presents results of the assessment of solid biofuels (residual biomasses from agricultural crops) in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the period 2007-2012, for energy in agricultural uses. It is pointed out the available quantity, its geographic location at micro and meso regions and energy conversion potential. The methodology is based on a survey on municipal agricultural production of the Brazilian Institute for Geography and Statistics (quantity and local availability, per year) followed by determination of the amounts of agricultural assessed residues, and then applying equations from the literature to estimate the amount of energy (J) and power (kW) obtained from the thermal conversion of residual biomasses. Results are... |

Torrefaction and densification are suitable techniques for upgrading solid biomass materials. They can improve the energy properties of solid fuels. The objective of this research was to evaluate changes in physico-chemical properties of agricultural residues (corn-cobs and rice husks) during torrefaction. Physical properties of the torrefied biomass pellets were analysed. The results showed that increasing the torrefaction temperature and time resulted in reduced moisture and volatile matter content of corn-cobs and rice husks. At the same time, fixed carbon, ash content and heating values were increased. The heating values of both torrefied fuels were in the range of 14.9–16.9 MJ/kg, increased by about 16 to 22% from the raw biomass. The optimum... |
