Lignocellulosic biomasses are used in several applications, such as energy production,
materials, and biofuels. These applications result in increased consumption and waste …

The use of coal for energy generation is facing serious scrutiny because of environmental
concerns. As a result, there is a growing global interest in biomass, a renewable and readily …

This research deals with the determination of physicochemical and thermal properties of
biomass samples to enhance pyrolysis yields. Proximate, ultimate, structural composition …

The use of inorganic binder for briquetting of subbituminous coal and torrefied biomass for
energy generation is scarce. The present study focuses on the physicomechanical durability …

The current study was carried out to explore the characteristics of biomass briquettes
produced with different proportion of dry leaves, sawdust, and rice husk with starch as …

Briquettes uptake continues to be low, despite their ability to offset the negative impacts
caused by firewood/charcoal. Possible reason for this is lack of literature towards key …

The pulp and paper industry use biomass residues, such as paper sludge and bark as fuel
to provide energy for their plants. However, issues such as high-water content or low heating …

Direct coal liquefaction residue (DCLR) is an industrial by-product from the direct coal
liquefaction process. It is harmful to the environment and the human body when directly …

The sustainability of fossil fuel is not guaranteed as it is gradually depleting. Alternative ways
to this challenge are to generate biofuel from biomass and plastic solid wastes. Many …

In this study, the thermal extraction of various coal and derivatives by N-methylpyrrolidone
was systematically compared and the extract was used as binder to prepare hot-pressed …
