Effect of Anoxic Atmosphere on the Physicochemical and Pelletization Properties of Pinus massoniana Sawdust during Storage.

ABSTRACT: The 34-day anoxic storage of Pinus massoniana sawdust (PS) in a sealed constant temperature and humidity chambers was carried out to simulate the limited-oxygen storage process inside piles at industrial scale. The effects of anoxic storage on feedstock's properties and pelletization process were investigated with respect to elemental composition, dry matter loss, thermogravimetric characteristics, energy consumption, pellets' density, and microbial communities, etc. After anoxic storage, the microbial community of PS samples was altered, such as the fungi content (Clonostachys, Strelitziana, and Orbilia, etc.), resulting the elemental composition of PS was altered. Thus, the cellulose and ash content of the stored PS were increased, while the hemicellulose, vol
