Physical-mechanical Parameters of Hazelnut Husk Bio-Briquettes Produced by a Horizontal Pressing Briquetting Machine

Türkiye has a big potential of hazelnut residues, especially the husks that is not used for any purposes. It estimated 200.000 tons husk residue produced per year after harvesting. Biomass became very popular since it alternative source energy and provides employment facilities in rural areas. Briquetting most widely waste compaction technology. A hydraulic type briquetting machine with horizontal course was manufactured to convert this particular idle into biofuels. Some physical mechanical properties briquettes under different pressures particle sizes having differ-ent moisture contents were determined.
