Pelletization of bio-char derived from biomass pyrolysis was investigated.
The optimal pelletizing conditions for bio-char densification were 128 MPa pressure and 35% water content.
Effect of pyrolysis temperature on densification of bio-char pellets was determined.
The bonding mechanism of the pellets derived from bio-char pyrolyzed at different temperatures was studied.
Pellets compacted from 550 to 650 °C bio-char showed superior qualities for application as renewable biofuels.
