Dust Explosion - an overview ScienceDirect Topics
2003.2.20 Torrefaction makes biomass brittle and could result in more dust during handling. Additionally, due to its high reactivity and low moisture content, torrefied biomass could more easily ignite than coal, which in turn increases the explosion potential of the torrefied biomass within mills or conveying pipes. Chapter 11 discusses this aspect further.
