“…Generation of energy from biomass materials offers the potential to reduce the greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels [2]. It can also guarantee energy security and tackle environmental problems [3], and contributes to its efficient management and to developing rural areas economically [4]. The potential of using biomass wastes in producing high energy concentrated fuels in the form of briquettes has been explored by researchers [5][6][7].…”

“…However, some have observed that corncob briquettes have a tendency to absorb water due to high particle porosity [16], and also displayed inadequate durability for handling and transporting after densification using low compaction pressure at room temperature [22,23]. Additionally, corncobs have a low bulk density of 104 kg/m 3 [24], low lignin content (5.6%), low water-soluble carbohydrates (1.1%) and low protein (2.5%) that are largely responsible for forming solid bridge bonds during briquetting and thus, requiring a high compacting pressure and/or an external binder [23].…”

The objective of this research was to investigate the quality of hybrid briquettes developed from corncobs (CC) and oil palm trunk bark (OPTB) under a low-pressure densification technique. The materials were combined in varying ratios of CC to OPTB (100:0, 75:25, 50:50, 25:75, 0:100) and wastepaper pulp (10% by weight) was added to each mixture as a binder. The briquettes were produced using a manually operated 20-tonne hydraulic piston press at 28 °C temperature and ≤7 MPa compaction pressure. The mechanical strength of the briquettes was determined by the drop test and compression test methods, while a bomb calorimeter was used to determine the calorific values. The results showed that the physical properties of hybrid briquettes ranged from 9.24–10.00% moisture content, 0.38–0.40 g/cm3 density, and 87.60%–92.00% water resistance. Mechanical strength showed a 98.28%–99.08% shatter index and 18.47–21.75 MPa compressive strength, while calorific values ranged from 16.54–16.91 MJ/kg. The hybrid briquettes fared better than the CC briquettes. The significance of this study lies in the production of briquettes with suitable physical, mechanical and thermal properties by utilizing OPTB which have hitherto not been used, mixed with corncobs. This could bring substantial environmental and socio-economic benefits to rural communities of the developing countries.

Briquettes are one of the renewable energies included in the solid fuel category. The raw material of briquettes used in this research was made from the mixture of rubber seed shell and stem of senggani. The composition of the mixture of rubber seed shell and senggani are 100%:0%, 75%:25%, 50%:50%, 25%:75%, 0%:100%. An adhesive used was 10% starch glue. The briquettes were formed with die pressure 100Psi and 110Psi. The objective of this study was to identify the property of briquettes base on the variation of briquette presses, as well as the calorific value of briquette and also determining the best mix variation according to SNI 01-6235-2000 quality standard. The results show that the variation of composition and die pressure gives effect to water content, ash and calorific value of briquette. For moisture content, only 110 psi pressure values meet the SNI standard (under 8%), while for ash and calorific values, all pressure variations meet the SNI standard (ash under 8% and calorific values above 5000Kal/g). The lowest water content was found in the 25% mixture of the rubber seed shell and 75% stem of senggani with a pressure of 110Psi. The lowest ash was found in 100% of rubber shell with value 3.7% and the highest calorific value was found in 100% rubber shell with value 6608.63 Cal/g.

In this study, carbonized peanut shells, cashew shells and millet stalks were used as raw materials to produce coal briquettes. Clay and arabic gum were applied as binders during briquetting by use of manual press. Physicochemical and mechanical tests of the obtained briquettes were conducted. The results show that the lower heating values of coal briquettes remain higher to that of wood; however, their ash contents are very high compared to wood. Combustion of coal briquettes samples show also that coal briquettes of peanut shells, cashew shells, and millet stalks ignite respectively at 312, 202.5 and 150.5°C. Bulk densities of these briquettes are respectively 543, 765 and 579 kg/m 3. Briquette made with arabic gum presents mechanical compressive strength above 1 MPa.
