Characterization of cold densified rice straw briquettes and the potential use of sawdust as binder

This study investigated the effect of particle size, pressure and mold diameter on the physical characteristics of rice straw briquettes. The briquettes were prepared utilizing a manually operated piston-press cold densification system and analyzed in terms of initial density, stable density, densit...

Description
Summary:This study investigated the effect of particle size, pressure and mold diameter on the physical characteristics of rice straw briquettes. The briquettes were prepared utilizing a manually operated piston-press cold densification system and analyzed in terms of initial density, stable density, density ratio, compaction ratio, percentage of volume change, shatter index and energy consumption. Reduction of mold diameter significantly (p
