Torrefaction of briquettes made of palm kernel shell with mixture of starch and water as binder

This study presents physical and combustion properties of briquettes made of palm kernel shell (PKS) with mixture of starch and water as binder. The briquettes with weight ratio of 60:40 (PKS: starch binder) were torrefied at various temperatures (225-275°C) and nitrogen flow rates (1000-3000 mL/min...
