Abstract

In order to solve the problem of environmental pollution caused by a large number of discarded hickory husks in Lin'an, and to make them a clean energy source that can be recycled, in this paper,using crushed hickory husks as raw material, single factor test was carried out on a hydraulic plunger forming machine with different moisture content and length-diameter ratio of forming sleeve.The change of axial pressure and radial force in the forming sleeve is measured by the sensor, and the microstructure of the biomass moulding fuel briquette was observed by stereomicroscope. The results showed that the hickory husks could be compressed and formed at room temperature. When the moisture content of the hickory husks is 14% and the length-diameter ratio of the forming sleeve is 4.5, the forming quality is the best, and the relaxation density of the formed briquette is up to 0.98g /cm3. When the moisture` content is the same, the forming pressure increases with the increase of the length-diameter ratio of the forming sleeve. When the length-diameter ratio of molding sleeve is the same, the molding pressure increases first and then decreases with the increase of water content.
