uld drive the clean energy production industry and properly replace the use of coal in Nigeria
if done sustainably. The objective of this work therefore is to study the synergetic effect of
waste feedstock mixture and torrefaction pre-treatment on some physical and performance
characteristics of briquettes from cornhusk (CH) and sawdust (SD) wastes. In this work, CH
and SD wastes were processed raw and torrefied at 200 to 300 °C and were mixed in the ratios
between 90/10 and 10/90 for briquette production using D-optimal crossed design. Cassava
starch of 20 g to 100 g of the feedstock (w/w) was used as binder. The performance
characteristics of CH/SD briquettes were evaluated using standard procedures while the
generated data were processed using ANOVA, regression and pareto analysis. Etc...
