Corn straw has potential as a biofuel, and is generated in large amounts globally. However, this potentialremains underutilized, and torrefaction is one of the processes that can be implemented to improve the energy grade ofthis biomass. In this study, three process parameters (temperature, heating rate, residence time) were investigated usinga response surface method to optimize the torrefaction process of corn straw. At 242.26 oC, a 60 min residence time,and 6.28 oC/min heating rate, the mass yield and higher heating value (HHV) reached their maximum values. Temperaturewas the most important factor influencing torrefaction, followed by residence time and then heating rate. Thegas and liquid by-products were measured by mass spectrometry and mass spectrometry-gas chromatography, and theheat demand of torrefaction was measured by thermogravimetric analysis-differential scanning calorimetry. The HHVof the by-products changed little before 240 oC but increased considerably as the temperature further increased. TheHHV at 242 oC was 1,273 kJ/kg. When the heat loss was 50%, 242 oC was the critical point of energy balance, and afterthat the torrefaction process was energy self-sufficient. These findings provide data to support the establishment ofsemi-industrial or industrial corn straw torrefaction devices.
