“…This reduces transportation and storage space costs and also enhances the combustion quality, while making its activation more purposeful [73]. Briquettes from agricultural residues can be employed in power generation through gasification, straight ignition, co-combustion, and in industrial boilers, furnaces, heating boilers and other combustion equipment [74,75]. The prospective economic, environmental and social impacts of biomass briquetting required appraisal to ensure its eco-efficiency.…”

Agricultural sector has inescapably drawn attention towards itself due to growing concern over population explosion, changing climate and depletion of resources. Advancements in technology have caused rapid boost in farm productivity and hence huge production of agro-wastes. There have been massive deteriorating impacts of agro-wastes on existing environmental conditions, creating wide scale environmental pollution as well as biodiversity loss. Since, agro-wastes have huge potential in the form of energy and nutrient recovery (ENR), amalgamations of different technologies would promote sustainability. ENR not only adjoins an added profitable product but also facilitates to close environmental nutrient cycles. This provides a substitute to existing unsustainable approaches that are energy demanding and reliant on nonrenewable sources of energy. This review underpins why ENR from agro-waste must be key concern in production of array of higher value products.

Las industrias forestales generan residuos de aserrín que son subutilizados, frecuentemente estos se acumulan durante años, lo que puede propiciar incendios y contaminación. Los objetivos de la presente investigación fueron comparar las propiedades energéticas entre el aserrín fresco e intemperizado de la madera de Pinus pseudostrobus, y determinar algunas propiedades físicas y mecánicas de briquetas elaboradas a partir de ellos. El aserrín se caracterizó según su distribución granulométrica, contenido de humedad, material volátil, cenizas y carbono fijo, de acuerdo con las normas europeas UNE-EN14774-3 y UNE-EN14775. Las briquetas se elaboraron en una máquina marca LIPPEL a presiones de 10 y 15 MPa, y temperaturas de 50, 70 y 90 ºC; su calidad se determinó mediante análisis proximales, propiedades físicas y mecánicas. Los valores medios y errores estándares se calcularon a las variables: tipo de aserrín, presión y temperatura. Los datos se analizaron estadísticamente como bloques completos al azar y se realizaron análisis de varianza para determinar la existencia de diferencias estadísticas (p<0.05) entre tratamientos. Cuando las hubo, se hicieron pruebas de Tukey. El aserrín intemperizado mostró mejores propiedades energéticas, al presentar menor porcentaje de humedad (9.12 %) y mayor contenido de carbono fijo (13.84 %); sin embargo, presentó un porcentaje superior de cenizas (0.84 %). Las briquetas con mejor calidad se obtuvieron cuando se utilizó aserrín fresco a 15 MPa de presión y temperatura de 70 °C.

“…Various authors have done experiments to understand the impact of biomass type and process variables on the briquetting process. Rajaseenivasan et al (2016) studied the effect of binder (neem powder) on sawdust briquettes. Their studies indicated that blending neem powder with sawdust resulted in higher strength but lowered the calorific value (CV) compared to a briquette of sawdust alone.…”

Briquetting tests were conducted on lodgepole pine, switchgrass, and corn stover biomass. Three moisture levels (12, 15, and 18 % [w.b.]) and three-hammer mill screen sizes (4.8, 12.7, and 19.05 mm) were used to understand the impact of these variables on briquette-quality attributes such as unit and bulk density, durability rating, and briquetting energy consumption. A pilot-scale hydraulic continuous briquetting system was used in the present study. The briquette-quality attributes were measured after five days of storage. The hammer mill screen size of 4.8 and 12.7 mm and biomass moisture content of 12 and 15 % (w.b.) resulted in a higher unit and bulk density and durability rating. For the three biomasses tested, corn stover and lodgepole pine resulted in briquettes with bulk density > 480 kg/m 3 whereas durability rating of corn stover was > 97.5 and lodgepole pine was about 92-93 %. A larger screen size of the hammer mill (12.7 mm) and higher moisture content of 18 % (w.b.) increased the briquetting energy consumption for both the woody and herbaceous biomass. Larger hammer mill screen size (19.05 mm) and moisture content of 15 % (w.b.) resulted in lower density and durability rating of the briquettes produced.
