Abstract:
In this study, a lignite sample from Afsin-Elbistan area of Turkey was briquetted using hazelnut shell, olive residue and sunflower shell as additives. The lignite sample was blended with the biomass samples and the blends were used in the production of fuel briquettes. Lignite-biomass blends were prepared to contain 2, 5, 10 and 20 wt% biomass as additive. These blends were briquetted for 10 s under 830 MPa pressure without using any binder. The blends were also briquetted using three different binder materials. Molasses, starch and black liquor were used as binder material. Shatter index, compressive strength and water resistance of the formed briquettes were determined and compared. Adding these binder materials affected both compressive strength and shatter index of the blend briquettes negatively. However, addition of the binder materials into the blends improved the water resistance of the briquettes produced considerably.
