“…The CEN/TS 14588 standard defines biomass pellets as densified biofuel made from ground biomass materials with or without additives, typically made in a cylindrical form of diameter 6–10 mm and a random length of typically 5–40 mm. The homogeneity in size, shape, and quality of pellets makes them well-suited for fully automated feed systems . Biomass pellets can be used directly as energy fuel in several applications ranging from residential heating stoves to central industrial heating boilers .…”

Pelletization from nonwoody biomass has gained a lot of attention due to its potential to secure biomass feedstock supply and pricing. Studies have been conducted to produce biopellets from different parts of Napier grass plant. In this study, two different species of Napier grass were used. Two pressure points and five different times were varied accordingly. Proximate, ultimate, and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analyses were performed to assess chemical properties. Statistical analysis of the collected data validated and supported the discussion. The produced pellets of Napier grass exhibited good energy density comparable to those in the literature based on gross calorific values. The pellet density demonstrated a significant effect with time, pressure, and feedstock ratios. The pellet durability test showed comparable characteristics to another biomass pellet. Both Pakchong Napier grass (PNG) and wild Napier grass (WNG) biopellet densities obtained were higher than 0.650 g/cm 3 , and the durability was higher than 95%. This signifies that the pellet can withstand repeated transfer during handling without breakage.

The results of research of physical and mechanical characteristics of the plate composite material obtained from birch wood after its processing by the method of explosive autohydrolysis are shown. Before barothermal treatment, the wood was impregnated with an aqueous solution of hydrogen peroxide. The composite material is made from hydrolyzed wood pulp by hot pressing without adding binders. It was found that the properties of the composite material depend on the amount of hydrogen peroxide and the rigidity of the barothermal treatment conditions. Each of the modes of barothermal treatment corresponds to a certain value of the amount of hydrogen peroxide, when using which the density of the material reaches the maximum value. The dependence of the bending strength of a composite material obtained using different amounts of hydrogen peroxide is characterized by the presence of an extremum point. At this point, the strength value is the maximum. Further increase in the amount of hydrogen peroxide is accompanied by a deterioration in strength characteristics. It is suggested that the effect is a consequence of the dominance of destructive processes over the processes of intermolecular crosslinking when using a large amount of hydrogen peroxide.
