Abstract

This research reported co-processing of coconut shell and sugarcane residue as a solid biofuel by briquetting process. The aim of the current research is to determine the optimum ratio between coconut shell and sugarcane residue for briquetting. Various ratios of coconut shell to sugarcane are 1:1, 1:3, 1:5 by weight. The briquettes were formed into cylindrical shapes. The carbonization process took place at 370 ̊C. Proximate analysis, compressive test and theoretical heating value are observed on the produced briquette. The results indicated that C 1:5 briquette has the lowest moisture content and highest theoretical heating value.
