Quality of Pinus sp. pellets with kraft lignin and starch addition

Abstract Pellets are widely used for power generation because they use renewable raw material with easy storage, transport and high energy density. However, the structural fragility, disintegrating during handling, transport and storage, is one of the main problems of pellets, but the addition of bi...
