Description of raw material
chaffed biomass of grass (Miscanthus giganteus)
Technology classification
Hydrothermal carbonization
Carbonization duration (residence time)
6h
Highest treatment temperature (HTT) (°C)
230

Detailed description of production method
HTC treatment of corncob and miscanthus was performed in a 1 L
steel autoclave (Anton Paar), immersed in water, and then heated at
230 °C for 6 h under autogenous pressure. After cooling, the
autoclaves were opened, and the resultant hydrochar was removed
from the aqueous dispersion by vacuum filtration. The resulting fine
powder was dried at 40 °C.
