Optimization of Process Parameters for Pellet Production from Corn Stalk Rinds Using Box–Behnken Design

In the current study, corn stalk rinds were used as feedstock for production of solid-fuel pellets. an effort to comprehensively analyze effects different operational parameters on physical properties pellets, response surface methodology (RSM) was employed in conjunction with a Box–Behnken experimental design (BBD). By assessing multiple variables simultaneously and examining their interactions, BBD facilitates development reliable model that can predict how changes independent will impact variables. The recorded responses included relaxed density, mechanical durability, compressive strength. Based results, greater R2 values 0.9467, 0.8669, 0.9196, could be, respectively, attained quadratic regression models. analysis variance revealed all had significant responses. optimal processing condition pellets established by determining ideal combination parameters. process entailed choice particle dimension measuring 0.5 mm, moisture level 11.35%, application heat at 125.7 °C die, utilization molding pressure 154.2 MPa. these factors, predicted determined be 1639.61 kg/m3 97.95% 10.18 MPa obtained experimentally under optimized conditions similar desirability value 1.00.
