Description The demand for energy is becoming a critical challenge for the world as the population continues to grow. This is call for sustainable energy production and supply such as renewable energy technologies. Renewable energy technologies are safe sources of energy that have a much lower environmental impact than conventional energy technologies. In India biomass is the most dominant source of energy and is used significantly in the domestic sector notably charcoal and wood fuel. Despite huge amount of agricultural waste generation in the rural areas, the rural folks use charcoal and wood fuel, which leads to deforestation. Therefore to reduce the use of conventional fuels, use of biomass as a fuel can be placed as a substitute. Biomass can be used in the form of briquettes to replace the conventional fuels to some extent.
Comparison of different biomass ratio for the briquette production was carried out B3 - saw dust, rice straw and cow dung in proportion of (20:05:40) produced heavier and longer (6.19cm) briquettes as compared to the other two ratio. The maximum compressed density 0.91 g/cm3 was obtained in B3 briquette. The maximum moisture content (63.11%) was found in B2 – rice husk, rice straw and cow dung (10:05:40) briquette and minimum (53.64%) in B3 briquette. Maximum shattering index (96.41%) was determined in B3- briquette. Maximum (16.23%) and minimum (9.56%) ash contend was obtained in B1- rice straw and cow dung (10:40) briquette and B3 briquette respectively. The optimum volatile matter was found in B1 briquette as 66.09% and minimum 63.29% for B3 briquette. The B3 briquette contained maximum fixed carbon percentage (19.97%) and minimum (10.04%) was determined in B1briquette.
Ultimate analysis indicates that various elemental chemical constituents such as carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen and sulphur contents and found in B1 as briquette 43.26% , 5.2%, 32.72% , 2.16% and 0.43% , in B2 briquette 46.46%, 5.6% , 30.3% , 2.27% and 0.56% , and in B3 briquette 49.86%, 5.72%, 33.16%, 1.31% and 0.39% respectively. Comparison of combustion behavior of B3 briquette have highest calorific value (4086 kcal/kg) but it is less as compared to coal (4726 kcal/kg), The ratio of water evaporated to fuel used contains in coal has higher value that is 0.61 ml/g than the rest three. Cost of briquette production per hour was maximum Rs.135.63 for B3, Rs. 123.63 and Rs. 128.63 for B1 and B2 briquettes respectively.
