The decrease in fibrous nature of torrefied biomass produces more spherical and isolated particles when ground, improving co-milling and blending with coal and increasing co-firing potential in coal-fired power plants.
“The decrease in the fibrous nature of the torrefied biomass produces more spherical and isolated particles when grinded.This improves in the co-milling and blending of biomass with coal, and then increases the co-firing potential of biomass in coalfired power plants (Bridgeman et al., 2010).”
From A Comprehensive Review on Biomass Torrefaction (2014) · cites this paper as Bridgeman et al., 2010
The Abstract (p. 2) says torrefaction reduces biomass’s fibrous nature and could permit higher co-milling and co-firing rates in coal-fired power stations. The Introduction (p. 4) mentions more uniform particle shape, but the cited paper does not establish that grinding produces spherical, isolated particles or that those shapes improve blending with coal. It also presents the co-firing benefit as a possibility, not a demonstrated result. (LLM, conf=0.88)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
