Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

There is described a processor for use in the microwave torrefaction of biomass material which comprises, a micronized biomass char material and a method of producing a biomass char material, and a method of producing L-glucosan.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. A processor for use in the microwave torrefaction of biomass material which comprises: (i) a material densifier to compress the biomass and preheat the biomass material; (ii) a microwave unit adapted to conduct microwave-assisted torrefaction of biomass material, the unit comprising a feed pipe for transfer of the biomass material comprising gas and/or liquid outlets to enable rapid removal of gas and/or liquid formed during torrefaction, wherein th…
