Conversion of low value agricultural residues to better-quality products e.g. biofuel, bioproducts can solve the issues related energy crisis as well environmental challenges. Torrefaction, a thermochemical pretreatment was employed on canola residue (CR) augment physicochemical properties biomass for heat and applications. In present study, effects microwave torrefaction have been investigated following operating parameters: power (250–450 W), residence time (10–20 min), feeding load (70–110 g). Box Behnken design method used experiments find interaction between process parameters. Both mass yields diminished with rise in reaction time. The results show that carbon content significantly increased degree while oxygen had reverse trend, therefore atomic ratio torrefied reduced remarkably. Torrefied shows higher percentages than bituminous coal. addition, noticeable decrease volatile matter observed growth severity thus fixed content. heating (HHV) boosted up by 26% (promoted from 17.8 MJ/kg 22.4 MJ/kg). HHV highly is very close Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis showed surface functional groups example OH, CH, CO decreased indicating improvement hydrophobicity biomass. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) represent more porous structure at highest conditions which happened due thermal cracking decomposition lignin grinding 89% compared raw Moreover, inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP) data concentrations minerals, alkaline other essential element amplified torrefaction. influence biomass, followed load. optimum were found 450W 90 g 20 min.

Biofuels are sustainable alternatives to fossil fuels because of their renewable and low-cost raw materials, environmentally friendly conversion technologies low emissions upon combustion. In addition, biofuels can also be upgraded enhance fuel properties for wide applicability in power infrastructures. produced from a variety biomasses through thermochemical biological processes. This article provides insights into the fundamental applied concepts methods such as torrefaction, pyrolysis, liquefaction, gasification transesterification. It is important understand physicochemical attributes biomass resources ascertain potential biofuel production. Hence, composition different lignocellulosic feedstocks, oilseed crops, municipal solid waste, food waste animal manure have been discussed. The biochar, bio-oil, bio-crude oil, syngas biodiesel described. concludes with an analysis strength, weaknesses, opportunities threats scale-up applications commercialization.
