Effect of composition of fuel pellets on their quality parameters

Abstract

The present researches are aimed at studying the influence of composite pellets on their quality measures. To obtain experimental samples of pellets, we used the main tree species of wood, that is pine, alder and birch. Found that the pellets produced from hardwood inferior in mechanical strength of the pellets obtained from pine. Technological solution to this problem was to establish the optimal composition of the fuel pellets and chemical activation of hardwoods. The highest strength pellets are achieved with the use of starch. The laboratory results were tested in industrial applications through the issuance of an experimental batch of fuel pellets.
