The Development of Biomass Fuel from Peanut Shell
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research was the development of biomass fuel from peanut shell. The mechanical and thermal properties of biomass fuel prepared from peanut shells with starch and rice husk, which were the binder at two hydraulic pressures of 4.5×105 and 13.2×105 lbm/ft2, were studied. It was found that the biomass fuel with high hydraulic pressure had a better mechanical property than that of low hydraulic pressure in terms of an increase in shatter index and densification of 4.20% and 9%, respectively. In contrast, the thermal property of biomass fuel with low hydraulic pressure was enhanced in terms of a higher heating value and a better thermal efficiency corresponding to the lower water penetration rate and moisture content. Moreover, rice husk was not suitable to use as a binder due to its cylindrical characteristic and high ash content of 19.97%.
