The pyrolysis of briquettes made from biomass is an available and economic technological route for the production of briquette charcoal, but by-products (tar and gas) cannot be brought into full utilization, leading to the waste of resources and the addition of environmental concerns. Temperature is the most important parameter that affects the distributions and properties of briquette charcoal...

Beehive charcoal briquettes were produced from powdered charcoal in which soil was added as binder. It was found to be an eco-friendly, clean and economic alternative source of household fuel for the people of Eastern Himalayan Region. Experiments were conducted to determine natural drying behaviour, normalised burn rate, temperature profile and emission of CO, CO2, UBHC (unburnt hydrocarbons) ...

Abstract Essential oil production produces huge amount of solid waste. This un-utilized waste potentially causing environmental problems. Converting the into biomass briquettes (bio briquette) is one prosperous solutions since can be used as energy source for activities in those industry. The objective this study converting essential from nutmeg and clove stems bio-briquette form, to analyze po...

background: in the aftermath of the great east japan earthquake, most of the areas in yamagata prefecture experienced a serious power failure lasting for approximately 24 hours. a number of households were subsequently poisoned with carbon monoxide (co) due to various causes. in this study, we conducted a survey of co poisoning during the disaster. methods: a questionnaire regarding co poisonin...

Turning the food waste into a fuel source such as charcoal briquette was one of alternatives in managing wastes disposal. In this present work, converted by microwave irradiation technique. Application binders potato starch and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) at ratios 5%,10% 15% for briquetting purpose were investigated terms its chemical physical characteristics. Result showed that formed using...

An effort to utilize solid wastes at dumpsite as refuse-derived fuel (RDF) was carried out. The produced RDF briquette was then utilized in the gasification system. These wastes were initially examined for their physical composition and chemical characteristics. The wastes contained high plastic content of 24.6-44.8%, majority in polyethylene plastic bag form. The plastic wastes were purified b...

The increasing demand for clean energy requires considerable effort to find alternative sources, such as briquettes. This research aims develop a charcoal briquette with added pine resin (API) that has excellent combustion speed and distinctive aroma. Briquettes are composed of charcoal, (concentration: 0%–30%), starch (up 7%). They produced in several stages, including coconut shell pyrolysis ...
