About this document

Rice Husk Charcoal Briquettes Study by Lawrence Mae Calaguing is a document available to read on EtoBox.

This document summarizes research on the fabrication and characterization of rice husk charcoal bio-briquettes. Rice husk was converted to charcoal powder through carbonization using two different furnaces. Briquettes were made by adding 6% tapioca starch adhesive to the charcoal powder and pressing it at 1000 kg/cm2. The resulting briquettes had a calorific value of 3.126 cal/g, density of 0.86 g/cm3, and compressive strength of 2.02 kg/cm2, making them a potential alternative energy source to fossil fuels
