PRODUCTION BRIQUETTE FROM RICE HUSK AND RICE STRAW
Authors
Abstract
Present work is an attempt to production of biomass briquettes using rice husk and
rice straw as raw material. The energy consumption and economic viability of biomass
briquettes production were analysed in detail. The maximum proportion of rice husk instead
of rice straw enhances the quality of briquette. The caloric value of briquette obtained in the
range of 15077-13923 kJ/kg. The economic viability of the briquette production is sensitive
to briquette market price, discount rate and capital cost.
