This research work was conducted to produce briquette from waste materials for rural and urban communities in Nigeria. Selected agricultural residues (ie rice husk, groundnut shell, shea butter husk). It was observed that the briquette charcoal produced has high calorific value (heating value) of 7,150 to 7300kcal/kg. with this heating value, food can be cooked within a short period of time. Therefore, briquette charcoal saves time and energy in monitoring the cooking material. ...Preview Download Preview +Other Chemical Engineering project topics and materials you might be interested in»Modification of surface, physical and chemical properties of activated carbons for water purification»The kinetic study on hydrolysis of cellulose (saw-dust)»Analysis of bush pear and its oil»Effect of particle size on oil yield using scent bean seed (ozaki)»Refining of palm kernel oil»Assessment of carbon monoxide (CO) level in Enugu metropolis monitoring industrial and residential area»Production of briquette from waste materials using locally fabricated equipment»Design, fabrication and test run of a single column vegetable oil refiner»Analysis of vegetables oil before and after refining
