study examined the utilization of residues from the production of hazelnuts as
a source of biofuel. The residues were briquetted using a hydraulic briquetting
machine with a horizontal course. Solid cylindrical briquettes were produced
with two different compression pressures (P: 80 MPa and 160 MPa), moisture
contents (M: 8%-10% and 13%-15%) and particle sizes (PS: 2-5 mm and 7-10 mm).
Physical properties (bulk density, tumbler and shatter indexes, water
absorption capacity, moisture and equivalent humidity contents) and thermal
properties (gas emission values after combustion, ash content and calorific
values) of the briquettes were measured. The study found an optimum briquetting
pressure of 160 MPa, optimum moisture content of 8%-10%, and optimum particle
size of 2-5 mm for hazelnut husk agricultural residues. The study gave
promising results and proved that the idle residue potential in agriculture
could be utilized for green energy. </span> <br /> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi}, organization={TÜBİTAK}
