Abstract

A process for the conversion of lignocellulosic material available as sawdust, rice husk, pine needle, water hyacinth into fuel bricks is described. The process does not need any costly binder or high compression hydraulic pressure. The fuel cakes possess good burning property (calorific value 3500-4000 kcal/kg) and can be used in fire places. A proper composition of such fuel bricks containing straw as one of the blends has also been found useful for mushroom cultivation.
