Blends of bamboo and
torrefied bamboo with coal were prepared in the blend ratios of
10%, 20%, 30%, 40% and 50%, respectively. The combustion behaviors
of bamboo, torrefied bamboo, coal and their respective blends were
determined by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) under 20 ml/min,
40 ml/min, 60 ml/min of air flows. The results from this research
will be very important and helpful to promote bamboo resources as
a blend fuel for co-firing application with coal.
