“…São preferidas biomassas para briquetagem com teor de umidade entre 10% e 15%. 13,23 Portanto, o teor de umidade para todos os tratamentos foi corrigido para 12% de umidade. Na classificação granulométrica, foram obtidos os resultados mostrados na Figura 1.…”

“…Esse valor é considerado alto, pois para briquetagem é recomendado um teor de cinzas menor que 4%, valores superiores podem causar corrosão no equipamento. 23 A maior quantidade de cinzas na palha de cana-deaçúcar pode ser explicada por uma possível contaminação das amostras. Após a colheita a palha fica depositada no campo.…”

Biomass in a broad sense has a great energy potential. It can be densified improving the logistic and the energetic efficiency. The aim of the present work was the characterization of coconut fiber (FC) and sugarcane straw (PC) and the evaluation of mechanical properties of the briquettes produced from these materials. The samples of materials were performed to proximate analysis and high heating value (HHV) with three repetitions. Five different blends were tested with 15 repetitions for each blend: treatment T1 (100% FC), T2 (75% FC and 25% PC), T3 (50% FC and 50% PC), T4 (25% FC and 75% PC) and T5 (100% PC). It was used particles size smaller than 0.84 mm with 12% moisture content for the briquettes production. The process was done in a hydraulic press without heating or binder. Briquette length expansion at specific time intervals was determined over a 72 hours period. The strength and friability of briquettes were measured after the production period of six days. The results showed that in the proximate analysis and HHV coconut fiber and sugarcane straw presented 74.01% and 77.50% for volatile matter, 3.71% and 5.68% for ash, 22.28% and 16.81% for fixed carbon, 18.24 MJ.kg -1 e 17.49 MJ.kg -1 for HHV, respectively. Sugarcane straw briquettes were classified as very crumbly. However, blending coconut fiber with sugarcane straw improved the quality of briquette.Keywords: Biomass; bioenergy; mechanical strength; solid biofuel. ResumoA biomassa, em geral, mostra um grande potencial energético. Ainda na sua forma compactada pode melhorar a logística e a eficiência energética. Neste sentido o presente trabalho teve como objetivo caracterizar a fibra de coco (FC) e a palha de cana-de-açúcar (PC) e avaliar as propriedades mecânicas dos briquetes produzidos. A biomassa foi caracterizada em relação à analises química imediata e poder calorífico superior (PCS) com três repetições cada. Para a produção dos briquetes foram realizados cinco tratamentos com 15 repetições: tratamento T1 (100% FC), T2 (75% FC e 25% PC), T3 (50% FC e 50% PC), T4 (25% FC e 75% PC) e T5 (100% PC). Briquetes foram produzidos utilizando os materiais com granulometria inferior a 0.84 mm e teor de umidade de 12%. Foi utilizada uma prensa hidráulica sem aquecimento e não houve adição de aglutinante. A expansão dos briquetes foi acompanhada durante as suas primeiras 72 horas. Após seis dias da produção, os briquetes foram submetidos aos testes de resistência mecânica. Os resultados na análise química imediata e PCS, mostraram que a fibra de coco e a palha da cana-de-açúcar apresentaram valores de 74.01% e 77.50% para voláteis, 3.71% e 5.68% para cinzas, 22.28% e 16.81% para carbono fixo, 18.24 MJ.kg Palavras-chave: Biomassa; bioenergia; resistência mecânica; biocombustível sólido.

“…The selection of suitable input materials, in addition to availability, is based on the input's desirable characteristics such as low moisture content (10-15%), low ash content (4%) and uniform or granular flow characteristics of the raw material (Tripathi et al 1998). The main sources of input for briquette production in Uganda include agricultural residues such as maize cobs, rice husks, coffee husks, groundnut husks, etc., and wood processing waste (such as sawdust).…”

Resource Recovery and Reuse (RRR) is a subprogram of the CGIAR ResearchProgram on Water, Land and Ecosystems (WLE) dedicated to applied research on the safe recovery of water, nutrients and energy from domestic and agro-industrial waste streams. This subprogram aims to create impact through different lines of action research, including (i) developing and testing scalable RRR business models, (ii) assessing and mitigating risks from RRR for public health and the environment, (iii) supporting public and private entities with innovative approaches for the safe reuse of wastewater and organic waste, and (iv) improving rural-urban linkages and resource allocations while minimizing the negative urban footprint on the peri-urban environment. This sub-program works closely with the World Health Organization (WHO), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), United Nations University (UNU), and many national and international partners across the globe. The RRR series of documents present summaries and reviews of the sub-program's research and resulting application guidelines, targeting development experts and others in the research for development continuum.
