Abstract

Nowadays, climate change is becoming an important issue mainly because of the energy consumption of human activities. The objective of this study is producing biomass energy using agricultural wastes for briquettes production with high physical, mechanical properties and high calorific value.  The study is divided into two parts: Firstly, describing the manufacturing process of briquettes from a mixture of chopped residues in varying proportions including rice straw, sugar cane bagasse, banana peels, coconut shells, and cattle manure to produce eco-friendly briquettes. Secondly, estimate the properties of produced briquettes such as physical, mechanical, and combustion characteristics, including relaxed density, calorific value, proximal analysis, and ultimate analysis to determine quality of produced briquettes. The results showed that the moisture content ranged between 6.02 and 9.52% (w.b.), density of the produced briquettes was found in range of 1040.2 to 1538.8 kg/m3, compressive strength ranged from 4.59 to 24.07 MPa, durability ranged from 86.43 to 99.75%, water resistance ranged from 77.28 to 92.48 %, calorific value ranged from 16.22 to 20.9 MJ/kg and burning rate ranged from 3.62 to 6.36 g/min with ignition time raged from 2.95 to 4.35 min. The volatile matter in the briquettes ranged from 68.5 to 75.8%. the high fixed carbon was 24.62%. The high-quality of produced briquettes were obtained from sugar cane bagasse sample that were, 24.07 MPa compressive strength, 18.71 MJ/kg calorific value, 6.36 g/min burning rate, 72.3 volatile matter, 99.8 % briquettes durability and 1538.8 kg/m3 bulk density. While the high calorific value was 20.47 MJ/kg.
