Research on Continuous Production and Co-firing Characteristics of Biocoke Made from Adzuki Bean Harvest Residue

Abstract

The purpose of this research is direct heat utilization of herbaceous biomass, which has a large amount of resources but a large amount of ash, and effective utilization of combustion ash. To date, the following findings have been obtained.

(1)A high-density solid fuel was continuously produced from adzuki bean harvest residue and rice bran as raw materials.

(2)As a result of co-firing experiments with wood pellets in a commercial pellet stove, no cohesive clinker formation, which hinders effective use of combustion ash, was observed.
