Boilers are widely used by industries and thermoelectric plants to generate renewable energy. However, when biomass is consumed, residues are generated, which for the most part cannot be discarded appropriately. This study ...

Development and implementation of strategies targeting downstream steps to convert spent mushroom substrate into energy or bioproducts are an urgent matter. This may ensure that edible mushrooms are both sustainable to ...

The re-use of glycerol from biodiesel industry as an alternative lubricant for making high-performance briquettes is usual. However, the technical performance of this agro-industrial residue is not consistent. This study ...

Cassava waste has the potential to be used as an energy source. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of pressure densification on the properties of cassava residue briquettes, especially on the strength of the ...

Biomass can be used in several ways to obtain the most diversify forms of energy, either by direct or indirect conversion. The aim of this work was to evaluate the technical viability of the use of different classes of ...

Pressing time and temperatures are factors that can influence positively briquettes durability characteristics. This work aimed to analyze physical-mechanical characteristics of sugarcane straw briquettes, produced with ...
