Binderless Briquetting of Mixed Cassava Rhizome, Sugarcane Bagasse, and Sugarcane Straw for Producing Solid Biofuel with High Durability

This study aimed at investigating the binderless densification of biomass for the production of a durable solid biofuel by mixing cassava rhizome, sugarcane bagasse, and sugarcane straw. Six different treatments were applied with specific percentages of these three biomass feedstocks for the densification in a lab-scale press with heating of 120 °C. Three blend treatments and three 100% material treatments (without mix) were analyzed. Achieved...
