Experimental analysis of pine needle briquettes using different binding material

Abstract

The study is undertaken to investigate the Thermal properties of pine needle in the preparation of biomass briquettes. Forest fires are the annual phenomenon in Himalayan region as the forests are dense and catch fire easily due to natural and man-made reasons. Himalayan forests are rich in Pine trees and the pine needle is one of the reasons to enhance the forest fire. There is a necessity to handle this forest waste efficiently. The dry pine needles are a major cause of forest fires and destroy the local ecology and the unburned pine needles damaging the fertile top layer of the soil. This paper attempts to explain the briquetting technology of pine needles and the results showed that a significant improvement in calorific value with the different binding material, and also help to find out the most suitable or efficient binding material for pine needle briquetting.
