The carbonization process of biomass is used for the production of adsorbents and fuels of high calorific value. The yields of char, gas and liquid are strongly related to the heating conditions. Product properties and yields can be varied to a large extent by using the rotary kiln technique. Therefore, the transport mechanisms of momentum, mass, species and thermal energy occurring during the carbonization of biomass in a rotary kiln reactor were studied in detail.
