Flow behavior characterization of biomass Feedstocks
POWDER TECHNOLOGY(2021)
Abstract
With the advancement of renewable energy, the processing and handling of biomass feedstocks has drawn enormous research interest. The key to economically viable and operationally reliable biomass handling processes involves a complete understanding of the flow behavior of different feedstocks as functions of the inherent critical material properties environmental conditions, and critical processing parameters. This review introduces the basic principles and methods in bulk solids flow and highlights recent efforts to understand the flow behavior of biomass feedstocks. The effects of inherent properties, environmental parameters, and handling equipment on the flow behavior of biomass feedstocks are presented. Particle size, shape, moisture, consolidation stress, temperature, storage time at rest, chemical treatment, and the material and geometry of the handling equipment all substantially influence biomass flowability. The limitations of current studies and the potential methods to overcome them are presented. Finally, an outlook for future research effort is provided, with proposed opportunities for improving the characterization of biomass flow. Published by Elsevier B.V.
