Experimental study of binderless briquetting process: effect of temperature on the fuel briquettes from rice husks

In developing countries’ socio-environmental background, fossil fuel use is evolving at the same time as deforestation, resulting in desertification and global warming. There an urgent need to find alternative sustainable environmentally friendly sources such biomass briquettes. This study aims analyse effect of densification temperature on characteristics briquettes produced from rice husks. The temperatures applied each production run varied 0 350°C with increment 50°C a heating screw press. Physical proximal analysis stage done order determine bulk density, moisture content, Ash volatile matter according NF standard. A statistical was model relationship between briquettes’ temperature. Interpretation correlation coefficients (0,98) shows that there strong briquette density. As increases, density also increases. However, (r = 0,44) ash content very low, no significant impact.
