- Abstract
In this work, the physical and chemical properties of briquettes of bituminous coal and sawdust/beet pulp have been investigated. Physical stability of sawdust briquettes was studied by water resistance index and compressive strength considering the effect of moisture, composition of briquettes and pressure of briquetting. The chemical tests on briquettes revealed the decrease in the sulfur content and the increase in volatile matter by increasing the amount of biomass. The higher calorific value and the lower volatile matter of the beet pulp briquettes in compare with sawdust briquettes make them more favorable as a solid fuel.
