Abstract

The study was carried out to produce briquettes from sawdust and waste paper and analyze the combustion characteristics of the briquettes mixture. The briquettes were produced using a manual briquetting machine using three sawdust and waste paper mixing ratio of 50:50, 80:20, and 20:80. Combustion reaction investigated were burning time, ignition time, moisture content, density, volatile matter, fixed carbon, ash content, and calorific values. The percentage free carbon of the briquettes ranged from 18- 25%, the calorific value ranged from 3418-3689cal/g. The results attained shows that sawdust and waste paper mixture has good combustion characteristics which qualify them as alternative to firewood for industrial and commercial energy.

Keywords: Production, Briquette, Sawdust, Waste paper, Briquetting machine.
