Quality assessment of solid biofuel made of sweet sorghum biomass

BIO Web of Conferences, 2018
The present article relates to assessment of energy utilization of sweet sorghum waste biomass as solid biofuel (briquettes). The briquettes were produced from biomass of pure sweet sorghum after juice extraction, mixture of sorghum with wood sawdust ...

The technical pre-feasibility to use briquettes made from wood and agricultural waste for gasification in a downdraft gasifier for electricity generation

Journal of Energy in Southern Africa, 2017
Biomass can be converted to energy through various thermochemical and biological processes. Gasification is one of the thermochemical processes that has recently gained popularity, because it achieves higher conversion efficiencies than, for example ...

Analysing The Effect of Rice Hush and Saw Dust in Preparation of Briquettes Using Hand Operated Briquetting Machine [PDF]

EPJ Web of Conferences
Air pollution is caused by the millions of tonnes of agricultural waste that are produced year and either incinerated or burned inefficiently in loose form. Briquettes made of biomass can be used as a substitute for wood charcoal.

Characterization of briquettes developed from banana peels, pineapple peels and water hyacinth

Energy, Sustainability and Society, 2023
Background Uganda’s energy relies heavily on biomass sources. This dependence on biomass for household and commercial purposes, driven largely by population increase, poses pressure on natural resources, such as forests. This study investigates the usage

Experimental Study on the Mechanical Properties of Biomass Briquettes from Different Agricultural Residues Combination

MATEC Web of Conferences, 2018
Biomass has received tremendous attention as it is one of the best alternatives to replace the use of fossil fuels for energy generation. However, there are problems associated with the utilization of raw biomass which could be resolved through ...

X-ray Analysis of Biomass Wood Briquette Structure [PDF]

Agricultural Engineering, 2016
Abstract The study aims to measure the wood chips flow during the briquetting process by the X-ray image analysis. Scots pine (Pinus sylvestris L.) constituted the used feedstock that has been previously divided, according to the standard, into four (>1.0; 1.1-4.0; 4.1-8.0; 8.1-16.0 mm) groups of fraction.

Effects of Adhesives on Quality Biomass Briquette

Natural-B, 2011
Production of briquettes from organic waste with starch as an adhesive, has been done. The briquette's quality is improved by (i)  the milling of organic waste is conducted in dry phase, and (ii) the mixing between organic waste and starch as an adhesive is carried out on raw phase.

Analysis and Test of Biomass Briquette and Stoves

Nepal Journal of Science and Technology, 2013
Biomass such as agricultural and forestry residues are important resources for energy in Nepal. This biomass can be converted into densified soild biofuel by briquetting fuel technology which can address handling, transportation, and storage problems. In addition, it helps to increase a number of applications and enhance its utilization efficiency. The
