Define torrefaction.

Understand the Problem

The question is asking for a definition of the term 'torrefaction', which refers to a process of heating biomass in the absence of oxygen to improve its properties for further use, typically in energy production or as a raw material.

Answer

Torrefaction is a thermochemical conversion process to upgrade solid feedstock into a more energy-dense product.

Torrefaction is a thermochemical conversion process that involves heating a solid feedstock in an elevated temperature, oxygen-limited environment to upgrade it to a more energy-dense, storable product.

Answer for screen readers

Torrefaction is a thermochemical conversion process that involves heating a solid feedstock in an elevated temperature, oxygen-limited environment to upgrade it to a more energy-dense, storable product.

More Information

This process is used to improve the fuel quality of biomass for applications like combustion and gasification.
