“…The quantification of the ignition temperature is very important, e.g., for biochar, because it can be directly associated with safety issues during storage and transportation [33]. The occurrences of self-ignition of different biomass-derived fuels or materials are widely documented in the literature, both for non-heat treated biomass, as presented in the works by Schwarzer et al [34], by Castells et al [35], and by Restuccia et al [36], but also for materials resulting from thermochemical conversion processes, such as the approaches presented by Liu et al [37], Zhou et al [38], Restuccia et al [39], Liu et al [40], or Nunes [41]. The latter author even describes a series of incidents that occurred in industrial units to produce torrefied biomass and associated the risk of self-heating and self-ignition with the presence of black particles and the high content of volatiles.…”
