Abstract:
In the following study a method is described which determines the grindability of torrefied biomass pellets. Therefore the amount of grinding energy required during the milling process is measured by grinding a defined weight of pellets in a cutting mill while recording the power consumption. Additionally the calculation of the specific grinding energy is explained using the measured values. The method is applied for five different torrefied biomass pellets including willow, pine, beech, poplar and straw.
