| Abstract: |
Biomass residues from plants and animal sources have been considered as organic materials useful for bioenergy production. The characteristics of a particular biomass sample are part of the factors that influence the properties of the resultant products used for bioenergy purpose. The choice of biomass feedstock and its suitable characterization method is therefore an important prerequisite step towards the determination of biomass fitness for thermal conversion methods. Biomass waste resources can be characterized using various techniques such as proximate, compositional, ultimate and thermogravimetric analyses. Important biomass characteristics include moisture content, volatile matter and ash content for proximate analysis while ultimate analysis provides information on elemental composition of the biomass. The compositional analysis involves the determination of the neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF) and acid detergent lignin (ADL) contents of the biomass for estimating the hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin contents of the biomass. Thermogravimetric analysis is used to determine the kinetic parameter of samples under different conditions. New evolving biomass characterization methods and analytical techniques are discussed including current trends, results, challenges and future outlook The evolving methods and analytical techniques are motivated by the need for efficient high-throughput methods to analyse biomass for thermochemical conversion. |
