“…A detailed review of different factors that affect solid fuel quality can be found in Gilvari et al ( 2019 ). Investigation was conducted utilizing feedstock from different origin such as Poland (Berdychowski et al 2021 ), Colombia (Juan and Gonz 2020 ), India (Dhote et al 2020 ; Rajput et al 2020 ), Mississippi (Thapa and Engelken 2019 ), Korea (Park et al 2020 ), Philippines (Navalta et al 2020 ), Nigeria (Ajimotokan et al 2019b ), China (Xia et al 2019 ) South Africa (Shuma and Madyira 2019 ), and Poland (Czeka et al 2018 ) among other origins. Some of feedstock reported recently include cashew nutshell (Ifa et al 2020 ; Chungcharoen and Srisang 2020 ), sugar cane bagasse (John et al 2020 ; Setter et al 2020 ), sawdust (Ajimotokan et al 2019b ; Yang et al 2021 ; Afsal et al 2020 ; Wang et al 2020 ), rice husk and rice brain (John et al 2020 ; Faverzani et al 2020 ), palm kernel shell and oil palm fruit bunch (Cabrales et al 2020 ; Osei et al 2020 ), citrus peel (Faverzani et al 2020 ), Sitka Spruce and olive pit (Trubetskaya et al 2019 ), miscanthus, wheat, barley (Mitchell et al 2020 ), areca nut (Chungcharoen and Srisang 2020 ), mushroom(Rafael et al 2020 ) and biomass charcoal-based product (Ajimotokan et al 2019b ; Lubwama et al 2020 ; Jelonek et al 2020 ; Cong et al 2020 ).…”

The global demand for sustainable energy is increasing due to urbanization, industrialization, population, and developmental growth. Transforming the large quantities of biomass resources such as agro-residues/wastes could raise the energy supply and promote energy mix. Residues of biomass instituted in the rural and industrial centers are enormous, and poor management of these residues results in several indescribable environmental threats. The energy potential of these residues can provide job opportunities and income for nations. The generation and utilization of dissimilar biomass as feedstock for energy production via densification could advance the diversity of energy crops. An increase in renewable and clean energy demand will likely increase the request for biomass residues for renewable energy generation via densification. This will reduce the environmental challenges associated with burning and dumping of these residues in an open field. Densification is the process of compacting particles together through the application of pressure to form solid fuels. Marketable densification is usually carried out using conventional pressure-driven processes such as extrusion, screw press, piston type, hydraulic piston press, roller press, and pallet press (ring and flat die). Based on compaction, densification methods can be categorized into high-pressure, medium-pressure, and low-pressure compactions. The common densification processes are briquetting, pelletizing, bailing, and cubing. They manufacture solid fuel with desirable fuel characteristics—physical, mechanical, chemical, thermal, and combustion characteristics. Fuel briquettes and pellets have numerous advantages and applications both in domestic and industrial settings. However, for biomass to be rationally and efficiently utilized as solid fuel, it must be characterized to determine its fuel properties. Herein, an overview of the densification of biomass residues as a source of sustainable energy is presented.

“…Thus, the briquetting process causes high density solids to be manufactured with these materials and improves the above-mentioned variables (Bajwa et al, 2018, Gilvari et al, 2019. Banaag et al [44] produced briquettes from sugarcane bagasse and rice bran at a temperature of 150 °C during a pressing time of 30 min and a pressing ratio of 0.34 MPa/s and verified that the density was 1.194 g/cm 3 . Obi et al [45], evaluated briquettes made with sawdust mixed with cassava starch as a binder prepared in proportions of 100:15, 100:25, 100:35, and 100:45 by weight and obtained a compacted density of 0.727 g/cm 3 .…”

The objective of this study was to analyze the cassava rhizome as a natural binder in blend briquettes from cassava rhizome, bagasse, and sugarcane straw. For this study, 20 kg of material (cassava rhizome sugarcane bagasse and straw) were dried to a moisture content closer to 12%. Six treatments were used for briquette production. Three blends and three 100% materials (without mix) were analyzed. The briquettes were produced in a lab-scale press with heating (120 ºC). The results showed that the energy index comparison varied from 6.20–8.25. The fracture limit for the resistance compressive test and the ultimate strength of the briquettes were found for B6 (100% cassava rhizome), followed by the B2 blend (75% cassava rhizome + 15% bagasse + 10% straw). Treatment B2 was the best composition for an energy source by proximate analysis. All treatments (briquettes) had a durability closer to 97%. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) revealed the presence of Ca, K, and Si. The raw cassava rhizome behaves like a natural binder, and treatment B2 was the best blend for briquette production.

“…Durability and fine content refer to the ability of briquettes to withstand drops and collisions during transportation and storage. 28 Figure 2 a shows the durability of briquettes at different mixing ratios and process temperatures. It was found that bamboo and Chinese fir briquettes had the highest durabilities of 90.73 and 96.10% at a process temperature of 520 °C, compared with other process temperatures.…”

Bamboo wastes were naturally stacked for 1 month and were uniformly mixed with Chinese fir. Briquettes were manufactured by a briquette extruder at different process temperatures and mixing ratios. The physical, mechanical, pyrolysis, and combustion characteristics of briquettes were determined. The results showed that the mixing ratios and process temperature had a significant impact on the fuel properties of briquettes. The optimum briquettes were manufactured by 70% bamboo/30% Chinese fir blends at a process temperature of 520 °C. The fuel properties of optimum briquettes met the standard requirement of LY/T 2552-2015 and GB/T 28669-2012. The lower heating rate at the primary pyrolysis stage increased the yield of charcoal during the carbonization process of briquettes. The combustion process of briquettes added a char combustion stage, compared with the pyrolysis process. There were no synergistic interactions of bamboo and Chinese fir during pyrolysis and combustion process. The results of this research are helpful to develop large-scale production of bamboo briquettes or charcoal.
