Briquettes Research Paper

910 Words4 Pages

ABSTRACT: This work examines the production of briquettes used for making biomass bonded with different binding agents at low cost. Briquettes is a compressed block of coal dust or other compressible biomass materials such as charcoal, sawdust ,wood, chips or paper used as fuel and kindling to start a fire. Biomass briquettes are bio fuel substitute for coal and charcoal. In this paper manual briquetting of sawdust is done using two different binding agents; paper pulp and wheat flour. Additionally briquettes are also made from rice husk with paper pulp as binding agent. This research is completed using raw materials available at low cost. This research also examines the calorific value, moisture content and ash content of the biomass briquettes …show more content…

Mould is made using a two inch PVC pipe. Peterson press technology is used in this process.it is relatively a simple device having hydraulic jack and the frame. Cyclic pressure can be applied on the mould with a lever of the hydraulic jack (Max 1500 kg) untill required compression is obtained.
4.2 DOMESTIC ELECTRIC GRINDER: Domestic electric grinder is used to crush and mix coarse particles of sawdust and rice husk.
4.3 MOISTURE CONTENT METER: Pin type digital moisture content meter is used to measure the water composition of briquettes.
5. SAMPLE PREPARATION
5.1 CRUSHING: The base material is crushed in to small pieces. Domestic grinder is used to crush coarse sawdust particles
5.2 BLENDING OF MATERIALS The base material is mixed with binding material uniformly. Uniform mixing is essential for the proper binding of briquettes. Water is used as a medium for good mixing. Wheat flour is manually with the base material. Paper pulp is mixed by using domestic grinder.
5.3 PRESSING: The blended materials are filled up to the edge of the mould. Excess pressure is given to the mould to press the materials. The pressure applied is noted and recorded.
5.4 DRYING: The resulting product is dried in direct sunlight up to 30°c for three

  • Burns Bog Field Study

    Burns Bog is a domed bog which is approximately 3000 hectares in size and is mostly covered by peat. Under this peat, is a layer of deltaic sand which was deposited from the creation of the Fraser River over 5000 years ago (Comprehensive Guide to Burns Bog). This was when the Fraser River was a low wetland and as flooding occurred, sediments were carried and accumulated. Over the past 150 years, dykes and draining changes have impacted the vegetation (more dryer plants). This is a reason why only two-thirds of the bog remains today.

    Coalmining was a prominent industry throughout eastern Pennsylvania, northern Maryland, and Wyoming. In 1885, legislation was passed in order to restrict the working age of miners. Breaker boys, who worked aboveground to sort slate, rocks, and other debris from the coal, were required to be at least twelve years of age. Underground miners were required to be at least fourteen years of age. Boys ' parents often presented a fake birth certificate with an altered date of birth in order to have their children, who were often as young as five or six years of age, work in the mines.

These malevolent winds start as a cool high pressure front in the Great Basin east of California. As the wind from the high pressure system fall down the back side of the mountains east of southern California. As the winds fall down the west side of the mountains they are warmed by the desert and sun and increase in temperature and speed as they wind through the narrow mountain passes and canyons producing an extremely hot dry wind that torments Southern California and northern Baja Mexico. Both Thomas and Didion have different views on the wind they seem to agree on one thing, that everyone knows when the winds are
