A briquette is a block of compressed coal dust, charcoal dust,
sawdust, wood chips or biomass, and is used as a fuel in
stoves and boilers. Charcoal is not like clay. Charcoal is a
material without plasticity and can not be mold into shape
without adding a binding material. To form charcoal dust into
briquettes, an agglomerating material is added to the charcoal
dust and then pressure is applied to the mixture to form a
briquette.
ADVANTAGES OF USING BRIQUETTS
1. Concentrated.
Since briquettes are created from compressing
combustible materials, they are denser, harder, and more
compact. They have high specific density (1200kg/m3) and
bulk density (800kg/m3) compared to 60 to 180 kg/m3 of
loose bio mass. Thus, they offer a more concentrated form of
energy than firewood or charcoal.
2. Slow-burning.
The compression process allows the briquettes
to burn for a lot longer than if it was loose in its original
condition
3. More efficient.
Along with the compactness of the briquettes
is the increase in heating value. Briquettes can relatively
produce more intense heat than other fuel. They have a higher
practical thermal value and much lower ash content (2-10%
compare to 20-40% in coal). In fact, they are 40% more
efficient, as well as hotter and longer lasting than firewood.
This greater efficiency can be attributed to their low moisture
and density.
4. Smokeless.
This is a unique property of briquettes. Using them
creates no smoke, soot, or carbon deposits. Depending on the
base material, Further,
briquettes do not emit gases or any toxic chemicals like sulfur.
