Estimation of the moisture content, volatile matter, ash content, fixed carbon and calorific values of saw dust briquettes

“One way of making efficient use existing resources is briquetting. Briquetting involves collecting combustible materials that are not usable due to lack density, and compressing them into solid fuels convenient shape can be burnt like wood or charcoal”. “Biomass briquette one the proven ways generating energy from waste”. “Fossil fuels, natural gas major sources for in Nigeria today”. “The excess these will lead serious environmental issues global warming, air pollution deforestation”. “This work focused on estimating heating values sawdust briquettes ascertain its suitability domestic small-scale industrial cottage application”. results obtained shows average percentage moisture content 5.04%, volatile matter 10.80%, ash 3.85%, fixed carbon 80.95% calorific value 26918.02KCal/Kg. These indicate made have high enough applications”.
