Physical characterization of sweet sorghum bagasse, tobacco residue, soy hull and fiber sorghum bagasse particles: Density, particle size and shape distributions

The work evaluated the density, size and shape distributions of four types of biomass: sweet sorghum and fiber sorghum bagasse, tobacco waste and soybean hulls (different granulometries for each material). Particle shape and size distributions were evaluated by digital image analysis and the results are useful for modeling and optimization of pyrolysis processes.
