1. THE STUDY OF PROPERTIES OF BRIQUETTE PRODUCED FROM GROUNDNUT SHELL COAL BLEND
Abstract
This study examined the properties of briquette produced from groundnut shell coal blend. A briquette is referred to as a block of compressed coal, biomass or charcoal dust that is used as fuel to start and maintain fire. Sub-bituminous coal was obtained from...
2. THE EVALUATION OF CERAMIC WASTE AS PARTIAL REPLACEMENT OF COARSE AGGREGATE IN HOT MIX ASPHALT
ABSTRACT The study investigates the suitability of ceramic waste aggregate (CWA) as partial replacement for coarse aggregate in asphalt concrete. In order to achieve the aim of the study, consistency tests such as sieve analysis, aggregate crushing and impact value, water absorption, particle sha...
3. DEVELOPMENT OF A LOW COST BRIQUETTE MAKING MACHINE
ABSTRACT
The work focuses on the development of a low cost briquette making machine using Rice husks and Sugarcane baggase as selected materials. The realization that deforestation and wood fuel shortages are likely to become pressing problems in many countries has turned attention to o...
4. TORREFACTION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF MAHOGANY SAWDUST FOR SOLID FUEL PRODUTION
ABSTRACT
As interest in biomass utilization into combustion fuels grows, the torrefaction, becomes ever more important. Torrefaction is aimed to maximize energy by removing undesirable components (water, hemicellulose and volatile matter) which cause poor ignition characteristic, excess...
5. EFFECT OF BINDERS ON THE PROPERTIES OF COAL BRIQUETTE BLENDS PRODUCED WITH DIFFERENT BIOMASSES
ABSTRACT
The production and characterization of briquettes from mixtures of coal, corn cob and rice husk has been carried out. The briquette samples were produced by blending varying compositions of coal and rice husk, also coal and corn cob at the ratios of 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 40:60,...
6. THE STUDY OF PROPERTIES OF BRIQUETTE PRODUCED FROM GROUNDNUT SHELL COAL BLEND
Background of the study
Biomass, particularly agricultural residues seem to be one of the most promising energy resources for developing countries (Patomsok, 2008). Rural households and minority of urban dwellers depend solely on fuel woods (charcoal, firewood and sawdust) as their prim...
