An effective fine grinding technology for woody biomass using a new vibration mill is proposed and evaluated in this study. Grinding properties of woody biomass depend largely on its moisture content. In this study, the drying behavior of woody biomass and the effect of moisture content on fine grinding with a vibration mill are discussed. Simultaneous drying and pulverization of woody biomass using a continuous vibration mill was carried out and the drying characteristics were investigated.
