Abstract:The aim of the present study was to investigate the possibilities for obtaining pellets by single-screw extrusion of black pine (Pinus nigra Arn.) biomass. Two fractions of black pine needles – 1) with dp ≥ 500 μm and bulk density ρn = 0.243 g/cm3 and 2) black pine twigs with d ≥ 500 μm and ρn = 0.297 g/cm3, were obtained. Wheat bran with dp ≥ 500 μm and bulk density ρn = 0.258 g/cm3 in a ratio of 1:1 was added to the obtained fractions. The experiments showed that getting pellets by single-screw extrusion of … Show more
