Resíduo do desdobro da madeira de Hymenolobium petraeum Ducke para a produção de briquetes

Resumo

The processing operations of wood in sawmills generates a large amount of residues that can be used as raw material for briquettes production. The objective of this study was to evaluate the wood residues from Hymenolobium petraeum (Angelim Pedra) and its potential for briquettes production. The characterization was done with the granulometric profile, moisture content and bulk density of wood residue. Briquettes were produced and determined the apparent density and the durability. The wood residue from H. petraeum presented bulk density of 204 kg m-3 and moisture content of 15.2% while briquettes produced showed bulk density of 1.336 kg m- 3, moisture content of 11.8% and durability of 99.9%. The residues generated during the processing of H. petroleum wood used in this study are suitable for production of high quality briquettes, being a viable technical alternative for its energy destination.
