Green energy generation from industry waste biomass:Pellets production from Eucalyptussalignasawdust

This study investigated the potential of pellet production from carbonised E. Saligna sawdust, processed at varying particle sizes (0.6 mm, 1.18 mm, and 2.36 mm) and utilising different organic binders.Proximate and ultimate analyses of charcoal pellets were investigated using standard test methods.E. Saligna sawdust was carbonised using a cylindrical barrel metal kiln, and pelletised with a manual press machine using molasses, cow dung, and fruit waste as binding agents.The proximate and ultimate analyses of charcoal pellets were determined using American Standards for Testing Materials (ASTM).Binding agents significantly influenced moisture content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash content, calorific value, and sulphur content (p
