摘要：

Bamboo is recognized as a versatile and fast-growing perennial plant widely grown in many parts of India. Annually, the agarbatti and bamboo-based industries generate 15-40% of bamboo waste, which gives researchers ideas for converting waste biomass into briquettes as well as alternative resources for biomass requirements for fuel purposes. The bamboo samples were collected from forest areas of Tripura, India, and briquettes were processed from Bambusa tulda main culm and residues by using a pilot hydraulic piston briquette machine. The physico-thermochemical analysis was quantified in the culm and residues-based briquettes of Bambusa tulda. The present study infers that the briquettes made from a 4-year-old culm of Bambusa tulda gave better performance based on the moisture content (5.32%), ash content (4.09%), volatile matter (71.29%), fixed carbon content (24.62%), bulk density (0.383 g cm(-3)), true density (0.965 g cm(-3)), gross calorific value (4714.30 kcal kg(-1)), compression strength (6.21 MPa), energy density (7.55 Gcal m(-3)), and drop resistance test (0.47%), respectively. So, these briquettes made from locally available B. tulda will fulfil the demand and serve as an alternative to fuelwood, giving alternative jobs and improving the livelihoods of local people.
