Abstract:Biomass, such as mandarin peels and rice husks, are among the most abundant and accessible sources for the conversion of crops into solid biofuel. It is important to highlight that sustainable bioenergy must have high efficiency; therefore, the heating values of biofuel samples produced from rice husks, mandarin peels, corn starch, glycerol, citric acid and acetic acid have been evaluated in the present study. The total moisture content, ash content and heating values of the sixteen biofuels produced were dete… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
