Abstract
In this study, production and characterization of hybrid biomass briquettes using two major agricultural wastes was carried out. Briquettes were produced from sawdust of the specie Albiziazygia and sorghum dust using native cassava starch as binder. Five different composition of sawdust/sorghum dust hybrid briquette were produced, moisture content, compressive test, ash content, calorific test and burning efficiency tests were carried to determine the physical and mechanical properties of the hybrid briquette. Test results show that moisture content varies from 6.83% to 29.70%, compressive load at break varies from 4.94KN to 15.18KN, ash content varies from 2.85% to 17.14%, calorific value varies from 3.83MJ/kg to 10.43MJ/kg and burning efficiency varies from 1.57% to 6.63%.
