(128a) Densification of Biomass By Using Natural and Synthetic Binder

Declination of fossil fuels at an accelerated rate along with their significant environmental problems have led to an increasing demand for renewable energy resources. Biomass with the high percentage of domestic availability is the best choice for producing energy. This work primarily focuses on the densification of biomass to form pellets with high heating value by using natural binder and synthetic binder. Pellets of different sizes have been produced by using natural and synthetic binder and then their heating value had been checked for natural and synthetic binder. Conclusions for the concentration of binder, binder Application, pellets size and heating value have been compared against different experimental approaches.
