fuel briquettes

An analysis was performed on the potential integrated use of alternative energy sources for producing fuel briquettes. This includes pyrocarbon generated through low-temperature pyrolysis of industrial and household plastic waste, as well as waste from the woodworking, pulp and paper, and agricultural industries. The process of forming fuel briquettes by cold pressing a mixture consisting of 60–70 wt.% pyrocarbon and 30–40 wt.% biomass (sawdust, corrugated cardboard, buckwheat, sunflower, wheat) was investigated.
