Combustion Potential of Raw and Torrefied Zoo Animals Faeces

Raw and torrefied faeces from four zoo animals (giraffe, deer, camel, reindeer) and a sample of zebra manure pellets were studied to assess their energy potential using combustion calorimetry and thermoanalytical (TG/DTA) methods. Marked differences (ca 12%) in the torrefaction y...
