“…In contrast, Sette Júnior et al (2017) found compression strength values of 2.07 MPa, when studying briquettes produced with P. aurea, which are lower than the ones obtained in this study for B. vulgaris and the three Phyllostachys species. Brand et al (2017), analyzing this variable in briquettes produced from rice residues (a monocot but grassy plant), obtained values of 2.37 MPa for bark and 2.89 MPa for straw.…”

Bamboo is a versatile plant that is widely used in many areas for feeding, manufacturing of utensils, construction and environmental purposes. The energetic use of bamboo stalks or residues from other applications is a promising alternative and compatible with sustainable development principles. This study aimed to evaluate the potential of four bamboo species (Bambusa vulgaris, Phyllostachys bambusoides, Phyllostachys edulis and Phyllostachys nigra) for briquette production. The following properties were evaluated: moisture content, bulk density, compression strength, proximate analysis, gross calorific value and energetic density. The results showed numbers ranging from 1.109 g cm-3 to 1.228 g cm-3 for bulk density, 4.68 MPa to 5.82 MPa for compression strength, 79.01 % to 82.25 % for volatile content, 15.26 % to 20.18 % for fixed carbon content, 0.38 % to 2.49 % for ash content, 4,571 kcal kg-1 to 4,716 kcal kg-1 for gross calorific value and 5.08 Gcal m-3 to 5.84 Gcal m-3 for energetic density. The briquettes produced from P. nigra presented the best energetic quality, followed by briquettes from P. edulis, P. bambusoides and B. vulgaris. Overall, it may be said that the four bamboo species can be used as alternative raw materials for energy generation.

“…The process of densification of biomass into briquettes was able to raise the basic density of Phyllostachys aurea (bamboo) biomass from 0.48 g•cm −3 to an average bulk density of 1.16 g•cm −3 . Consequently, the energy density went from about 8.8 GJ•m −3 to 21.478 GJ•m −3 [36]. Something similar was observed for Lantana câmara biomass, whose initial density was 0.51 g•cm −3 and after briquetting reached 1.20 g•cm −3 [37].…”

“…De Oliveira Maia et al [42], reported that operating conditions, such as pressure and compaction time, are chosen according to the configuration and availability of the briquetting equipment. In this way, some works, such as that of Sette Júnior et al [36] carry out preliminary tests to determine the ideal level for compaction time. As can be seen, the divergences regarding the pressing time and its impact on the final product indicate how particular each briquetting process is and justify a more detailed investigation for this process variable.…”

Empirical Studies on Biomass Briquette Production: A Literature Review

The densification of raw material into fuel briquettes is one of the routes to convert biomass into energy. This method provides uniformity to the solid fuel, better physical and energy properties, facilitating its storage and transport, in addition to more homogeneous combustion. Given the importance of these characteristics, this work presents a literature review, emphasizing the experimental levels of the variables of the briquetting process, as well as on the most relevant quality parameters for obtaining briquettes. We also carry out a survey of the main technologies used in the production of briquettes, as well as the experimental methodologies and statistical analysis used in the planning and validation of processes. It was observed among the studies that the raw material granulometry, followed by pressure, initial moisture, compaction time and binder are the most used process variables for the production of briquettes. Other factors, such as the proportion of biomass, process temperature and thermal pre-treatments are used to obtain greater energetic and physical responses. Among the works, divergences were observed regarding the relevance and interaction of some process variables on the quality variables of the briquettes, indicating the need for the experiments to be mathematically modeled.
