The torrefaction performance and properties of torrefied CS (Camellia shell) bio-char obtained via dry and hydrothermal torrefaction have been compared as well as pyrolysis and combustion properties. And making of torrefied pellets and their properties such as pellet density, Meyer hardness, and energy consumption are also investigated. The results showed that dry torrefied bio-char had higher energy and density at 220 degrees C and decreased significantly with temperature, while hydrothermally prepared bio-char had stable energy and mass yield with temperature. The coalification status of hydrothermally bio-char is similar to that of sub-bituminous coal. The pellet formed from dry terrified bio-char via quart tube in 220 degrees C with high pellet density (1048 kg/m(3)) and low energy consumption (17.6 KJ/kg) in spite of low the Meyer hardness (6.8 N/mm(2)). As for the process kinetics, the activation energy via dry torrefection with auger showed lower activation energy 43.26 KJ/mol as well as lowest ignition temperature (290 degrees C), compared to hydrothermal torrefaction.
