Characterization and Production of Fuel Briquettes Made from Biomass and Plastic Wastes
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study, the physical properties of briquettes produced from two different biomass feedstocks (sawdust and date palm trunk) and different plastic wastes, without using any external binding agent, were investigated. The biomass feedstocks were blended with different ratios of two waste from electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) plastics (halogen-free wire and printed circuit boards (PCBs)) and automotive shredder residues (ASR). The briquettes production is studied at different waste proportions (10–30%), pressures (22–67 MPa) and temperatures (room–130 ◦C). Physical properties as density and durability rating were measured, usually increasing with temperature. Palm trunk gave better results than sawdust in most cases, due to its moisture content and the extremely fine particles that are easily obtained.

Low Pressure Binder-Less Densification of Fibrous Biomass Material using a Screw Press
In this study, the theoretical relationship between pressure and density was investigated on cylindrical hollow fuel briquettes produced of a mixture of fibrous biomass material using a screw press without any chemical binder. The fuel briquettes were made of biomass and other waste material such as spent coffee beans, mielie husks, saw dust and coal fines under pressures of 0.878-2.2 Mega Pasc...

It is also intended to create awareness of agricultural wastes briquettes technology in Ghana and to make use of the technology by small scale entrepreneurs. This paper also ...
متن کاملProduction of fuel briquettes from esparto partially pyrolyzed
The aim of this study is to prepare a solid fuel from the most abundant biomass of Morocco that can be used by the local population, and in particular by the rural ones, instead of the wood of forest, which is less available and its exploitation is negative for the environment. Esparto is the most available biomass, with a production of 560000 tons annually of dry matter approximately. However,...

Biomass Briquetting is the process of converting low bulk density agro waste into high density fuel, by the process of mass densification. It is a type of Solid Waste Management by reducing the volume of solid waste mass sent to land-fills, where it is presently burnt or buried without proper care. These are good replacements for conventional cooking fuels, economical and eco-friendly and utili...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Diols and Polyols Based on Aminolysisof Poly (ethylene terephthalate) Wastes with Alkanolamines
The Plastic Waste phenomenon, which is the result of increasing poly (ethylene terephthalate) production and the wide range PET consumption in different industries, caused one of the major environmental concerns. Therefore,many different ways have been studied and applied for chemical recycling of PET. One of the most important ways to depolymerize poly (ethylene terephthalate) is the aminolysi...
