Abstract
This research aims at forming sugar cane residues in the form of regular molds so as to facilitation of trade it with better natural properties than that the original ones. They get easy to handle, transport and storage templates that are then used as an alternative to energy. Moreover, reduce environmental pollution. The studied factors were: particle size of less or equal 1 mm, between 1.4 - 2.8 mm, more than 2.8 mm, and chopped from the machine without separation, at four molding pressure of 150, 200, 250 and 300 bar, (30, 40, 50 and 60 MPa), bonded material (molasses 5, 10 and 15 %) and without bonded material. From the main results, the optimum conditions of sugarcane briquettes were; molding pressure of 60 MPa, particle size of < 1 mm, and molasses percent of 15 %. Which gave briquettes bulk-density of 992 kg m-3, compression ratio of 12.4, resiliency of 4 %, the max., caloric value of 14720 kJ kg-1,and the min, caloric value of 6500 kJ kg-1, durability of 98.33%, combustion efficiency of 46%.
