PROCESS FOR PRODUCING SOLID BIOMASS FUEL

Abstract: a process for producing a solid biomass fuel, wherein the process comprises the following steps: (i) providing a biomass composition comprising biomass particles with an average particle diameter (d50) of from 1,000 m to 75,000 m; (ii) pulverising the biomass composition to provide a pulverised biomass powder with an average particle diameter (d50) of from 500 m to 10,000 m; (iii) drying the pulverised biomass powder so as to provide a dried pulverised biomass powder; (iv) molding the dried pulverised biomass powder so as to provide a molded biomass product; (v) heating the molded biomass product to a temperature of from 110 c to 500 c for a time period of from 0.2 to 6 hours so as to provide a solid biomass fuel; wherein the biomass composition comprises rice straw, tobacco straw, pepper straw, aubergine straw, cassava straw, yellow bean straw, chick pea straw, straw, palm leaves, cashew shells, chinese chestnut shells, pistachio shells, sunflower seed shells, walnut shells, pine nut shells, hemp, moso bamboo, hemp bamboo, arrow bamboo, lychee shells, cinnamon (logan) shells, snake skin fruit shells, mangosteen shells, durian shells, soybean residue, peanut residue, cassava residue, sweet potato residue, coffee bean residue, or combinations thereof.
