PHYSICAL CHARACTERIZATION AND MECHANICAL PERFORMANCE OF LIGNOCELLULOSTIC BIOMASS PELLETS
The objective was to evaluate the physical and energetic characteristics of pellets produced with different lignocellulosic biomasses for bioenergy generation. Moisture and bulk density were determined for biomass and pellets. In addition, for pellets mechanical durability, fines content, diametric compression, diameter, length and unit density were measured. There was an increase in bulk density and a reduction in the moisture content of the fuels produced compared to fresh biomass. The highest averages of mechanical durability were obtained by pellets produced with biomass mixtures. Diameter compression ranged from 0.52 to 5.96 MPa for commercial pellet and 100% elephant grass, respectively. Pellets produced with 100% sugarcane bagasse showed low diametral compression. Regarding the percentage of fines, it is observed that the pellets produced with biomass mixtures presented the lowest averages when compared to those produced with only one biomass. It is observed that the pellets produced with more than one biomass in its composition had the smallest diameters and the average pellet length ranged from 12.87 to 17.85 mm. Unit apparent density ranged from 1,105 (EC50 BC50) to 1,265 kg m-3 (EC50 E50). The pellets produced with lignocellulosic biomass compositions had better performances when compared to those produced with only one biomass.
