Abstract
Biomass is a renewable and abundant source of carbon is one of the new energy sources under study. The high renewable and productive potential of wood can express an environmentally healthier energy matrix, and decrease dependence on exhaustible energy sources (Brito, 2007). However, the potential for energy generation is difficult as the percentage of moisture increases, since part of the combustion energy must be destined to evaporate a water in the biomass. This paper presents an analysis of the importance of a quality assessment and an evaluation of the results of the evalu- ations. The research is in study aimed at food isotherms as seen in the publication of Silva (2015). It was verified that the use of isotherms can be applied to a wood using mathematical models such as the GAB model; the results prove the affirmation and the concepts of describing with the quality or the humidity gain of the biomass for several different states.
