In this research, we have studied some opportunities for using hazelnut shells (Coryllus avellana L.) as compressed combustible fuel in the context of biomass material. A pellet mill was used during the production. The physical and chemical characteristics of the material obtained were subjected to various combustion, calorie and chemical tests. The calorific value of the obtained compressed material and the standby time in its glowing state was improved. We have determined that such charcoal, made from hazelnut shells, has characteristics similar to another coal made from wood timber and can be used in similar ways.

Öz

Bu çalışmada Odun Dışı Orman Ürünleri kapsamında biyokütle kaynaklarından fındık kabuklarının (Coryllus avellana L.) sıkıştırılmış yakıt malzemesi olarak değerlendirilme olanakları araştırılmıştır. Pellet değirmeni kullanılarak sıkıştırılmış yakıt materyalinin üretimi yapılmıştır. Elde edilen malzemenin fiziksel, kimyasal özellikleri ile çeşitli yanma, kalori ve kül testleri yapılmıştır. Fındık kabuğundan elde edilen sıkıştırılmış biyokütle materyalin özellikle mangal kömürü olarak değerlendirilebileceği ve diğer odunlardan elde edilen mangal kömürü yakıtı ile elde edilen ısıl değerlere yakın özelliklerde olduğu belirlenmiştir.
