The Utilization Of Cashew Shell Residues And Grease Waste For Charcoal Briquette Production, Supaporn Pongthornpruek
Applied Environmental Research
This study aims to investigate appropriate utilization of mixing grease waste (GW) from a canteen's grease trap with cashew shell charcoal (CSC) to produce briquette fuel by weight (GW:CSC) in the ratio 1:2, 2:2, 3:2 and 4:2. All different mixing ratios used starch paste as binding agent. The physical and chemical properties of briquette fuel were analyzed to verify its heating value components as specified by the American Society for Testing and Material (ASTM). In addition, in terms of heat utilization efficiency and pollution aspects, the content of carbon monoxide (CO) emissions from combustion were measured. The result of this …
