The Study of Banana Leaf Fiber Based Biomass Pellets Fuel

Abstract

The use of agricultural and forestry waste to produce energy-efficient biomass energy is one of the most energy-saving methods. Through the resource study and regional economic analyses, sawdust, hay and banana leaf fiber were selected as raw materials to study the main influencing factors of the palletization due to the substantial amount. Under the optimum condition: sawdust/hay ratio of 1.49:1, fiber/particle ratio of 1:20 and the fiber length of 2.05cm, the crushing resistance increased by 12.12% and the calorific value of the mixed fuel is 17014kJ/kg. The results show that adding banana leaf fiber to hay and swadust can greatly improve the forming rate of biomass fuel, the heat value and ash content of biomass meet the national standard. There are a large number of agricultural and forestry waste can be well utilized.
