NOVELTY - Manufacturing refined torrefied biomass having a reduced inorganic content, comprises passing crude torrefied biomass through one or more selective separation devices capable of separating inorganic particulate matter from the torrefied biomass.    USE - The processes or methods are useful for manufacturing refined torrefied biomass having reduced inorganic content; preparing refined torrefied biomass having reduced inorganic matter content; generating energy by combustion of solid fuel with reduced inorganic ash generation; for reclaiming energy value of fine particulate biomass which is recovered from the dirt removal process; and for reclaiming economic value from dirt-containing fine particulate biomass (all claimed).    ADVANTAGE - The invention replaces coal as a primary fuel source with torrefied biomass thus advantageously mitigating the other issues of fossil fuel, including the fouling, sulfur emissions, and release of heavy metals such as mercury, while retaining the advantages of a fuel which is an easily transportable, environmentally stable solid fuel which is easily pulverized to promote rapid and complete combustion.    DETAILED DESCRIPTION - INDEPENDENT CLAIMS are:    (1) a process for preparing a refined torrefied biomass having a reduced inorganic matter content, comprising passing granulate torrefied biomass comprising non-debarked forest wood and forest debris through a fluidized bed separator to separate larger particle granulate torrefied biomass from smaller inorganic particles;    (2) a refined torrefied biomass comprising an inorganic matter content reduced by from about 10 to about 90 weight percent relative to non-refined, crude torrefied biomass sourced from the same green material and the same torrefaction process where content refinement is effected by subjecting, pre-torrefaction, the biomass to a selective separation process to remove inorganic matter;    (3) a compacted biomass material having a reduced inorganic matter content manufactured comprising subjecting refined torrefied biomass obtained according to the process above to a subsequent compaction process;    (4) a compacted refined biomass having a reduced inorganic matter content manufactured comprising subjecting refined torrified biomass obtained according to the process above to a subsequent briquetting process to form a briquette;    (5) a process for generating energy by combustion of solid fuel with reduced inorganic ash generation, comprising providing the torrefied biomass; and using the torrefied biomass as the solid fuel, thus providing for a concomitant reduction in generation of inorganic ash;    (6) a method for reclaiming energy value of fine particulate biomass which is recovered from the dirt removal process, comprising combusting dirt-containing fine particulate biomass where a non-combustible fraction is subsequently removed from combustion products using a filter; and    (7) a method for reclaiming economic value from dirt-containing fine particulate biomass, comprising preparing compacted biomass material; recovering dirt-containing fine particulate biomass; and using the dirt-containing fine particulate biomass as a soil enhancement adjuvant for agricultural use.
