METHOD FOR PRODUCING FUEL PELLETS AND OTHER LIGNOCELLULOSIC PRODUCTS WITH REDUCED HEMICELLULOSE, ALKALI METAL AND CHLORINE CONTENTS

摘要

At least one embodiment of the disclosure is directed to a method of producing a lignocellulose-based product with reduced contents of hemicellulose, chlorine, sulfur and alkali and alkaline earth metals. A biomass having up to 60% by weight of moisture prior to steam treatment is steam treated. A lignocellulose-based product with reduced contents of hemicelluloses, chlorine, sulfur and alkali and alkaline metals is produced.
