Evaluation and characterization of the combustion properties of alkaline pretreated bio-solid fuel derived from cabbage waste

Preparation of composite biomass briquette from a mixture of domestic solid waste and coconut husk with cow dung as a binder

“…The average diameter (see Table 5) recorded for the composite biomass briquette was in line with the acceptable range of 25-100 mm as recommended by Kpalo et al [16]. Also, the average thickness and average mass (see Table 5) of the composite biomass briquette were consistent with studies by Bamisaye et al [6] and Deshannavar [9]. Also, the average length recorded for the composite biomass briquette was 60.8mm.…”

Amaranthus hybridus waste solid biofuel: comparative and machine learning studies

“…As long as a low ash level is documented, a fuel briquette's combustibility increases with increasing volatile matter. 25,53 The fixed carbon shows a significant difference with a p -value of 0.0001, in which 25.77 ± 0.01% was recorded for UAHB compared to TAHB's recorded value of 28.92 ± 0.01%. The lower value recorded for UAHB implies a prolonged cooking time at a very low rate of heat release.…”

“…This reduction suggests lignin content reduction of the alkaline treated sample, TAHB as reported by. 59,60…”

“…54,55 PTEs are chemically stable and toxic at high concentrations, which has been demonstrated over time by numerous research and may contribute to ophthalmic, respiratory, and dermatological disorders. 8,27 As shown in Table 5 below, the percentage concentration of iron (Fe), copper (Cu), zinc (Zn) nickel (Ni), tungsten (W), bromine (Br), etc. are conspicuously negligible for both the UAHB and TAHB.…”

“…Agro-industrial wastes, municipal solid wastes, fuels obtained from refuse, and forest residues are only a few examples of the various biomass energy supplies. 4,7,8…”
