“…Therefore, we can state that the concentration of bamboo in briquette can affect the amount of volatile matter of the briquette. The similar results was observed by Krishnamoorthi et al (2023) [4] in Bambusa tulda based briquettes the range of volatile matter was in between 71.29% to 76.82%.…”

“…The present study's findings showed that the briquettes formed in the ratio of 50:25:25 had the highest bulk density (0.342 g cm - ), followed by those manufactured in the ratio of 40:30:30 (0.275 g cm -3 ), while the briquettes made in the ratio of 100% bamboo had the lowest bulk density (0.255 g cm -3 ). Similar results were discovered by Krishnamoorthi et al (2023) [4] in Bambusa tulda-based briquettes, with bulk densities ranging from 0.291 g cm-3 to 0.383 g cm -3 . Similar research was done by Vijayakumary et al (2023) [3] , who discovered that the bulk density of bamboo-based briquettes varied from 0.68 g cm-3 to 0.70 g cm -3 .…”

“…In the present investigation, the briquettes created in the proportion 50:25:25 had the highest fixed carbon content (16.71%), followed by those manufactured in the proportion 40:30:30 (12.08%), and the briquettes made from bamboo (100%) had the lowest fixed carbon content (9.72%). The results were the same for Krishnamoorthi et al, 2023 [4] , and the range of fixed carbon content was 10.79% to 18.63%.…”

“…The Pharma Innovation Journal https://www.thepharmajournal.com [4] found the similar results in Bambusa tulda based briquettes, ash content ranged from 3.47% to 4.84%.

“…All the briquette combinations were created using a pilot hydraulic piston briquette machine, which heated the briquettes to a temperature of 130 °C and compacted them under pressure of 60 MPa for the first 10 minutes and 110 MPa for the following 5 minutes (Krishnamoorthi et al, 2023) [4] . The briquettes created by the machine must first be cooled down in order to prepare them for burning (Krishnamoorthi et al, 2023) [4] . As a result, they cannot be used right away due to their high temperature.…”

Known for its versatility and fast growth, bamboo is a perennial plant. Bamboo is noted for expanding rapidly; some types may do so by several feet in a single day. A prototype hydraulic piston briquette machine was used to process the bamboo samples, which were obtained from the Forest College and Research Institute Mettupalayam, India. The briquettes were made from Bambusa bambos and had various ratios of lantana camara and sawdust. Different combinations of briquettes made of Bambusa bambos' bamboo were measured for the physico-thermochemical examination. Based on the moisture content (5.13%), ash content (4.97%), volatile matter (73.19%), fixed carbon content (16.71%), bulk density (0.342 g cm 3 ), and gross calorific value (3913.5 kcal kg -1 ), the current study deduces that the briquettes made with a combination of 50:25:25 of Bambusa bambos, lantana camara, and sawdust gave better performance.
