| Abstract | The present work is devoted to the experimental study of torrefaction of corn-stover. This biomass was processed in a high capacity thermobalance which can accept a load of approximately 500 g. It allows not only following the weight of the biomass under investigation as a function of time (or temperature) but also to collect and analyze the by-products of the thermal degradation (μ-GC for gas, HPLC for tars). Torrefaction is expected to be of main concern in the preparation of biomass for energy production or for conversion of biomass into liquid fuels. This is one of the reason why this process has been widely studied in the case of wood in the literature. However, so few studies exist on the torrefaction of agricultural residue which could play an important role in the above mentioned fields. The purpose of the present work is to give insights on the transformation of corn stover (which is an important by product of corn) undergoing an operation of torrefaction. To do so, the influence of operational conditions (temperature, residence time, heating rate, weight of sample) on the yield and composition of by-products was studied with a factorial design. It is shown that the main gaseous products are carbon monoxide and dioxide while tars are mainly composed of acetic acid and formaldehyde. It is also shown that the discriminant operating parameter in corn stover conversion is the temperature. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
