Production of Briquette from Coffee Waste

Biomass briquettes have been used as an alternative to firewood and charcoal. In this study, production of briquette from ground coffee waste will be carried out to determine its feasibility as fillers when mix with two sets of binders namely rice husk and waste papers. Torrefaction of coffee waste...
