Drying and Particle Size Characteristics of Danta (Nesogordonia papavereria) and Hard Cross (Vitex doniana) Wood Sawdusts at Different TemperaturesBy Utibe Benedict Edem, Onuora Okorie, Ifeanyichukwu Edeh, Ayoade Kuye
Abstract: The drying and particle size characterization of Danta (Nesogordonia papavereria) and Hard Cross (Vitex doniana) hardwood sawdusts were investigated at temperatures 80 ºC, 90 ºC and 105 . The experimental drying data were modeled using eighteen existing drying models. The results showed that the modified Henderson and Pabis model offered the best fit to the drying curves of Danta and Hard Cross sawdusts. The experimental data obtained from the particle …

Some Properties of Briquettes Produced from Sawdust and Different Binders using a Fabricated Hydraulic Piston PressBy Ayoade Kuye, Daniel Christopher Ini
Abstract: AbstractThis paper describes a fabricated briquettes hydraulic piston press and some properties of the briquettes produced from sawdust when it was used. The press consists of three basic components: the main frame, the mold and a hydraulic jack fitted with pressure gauge. The parts are readily available in Nigeria and relatively cheap. The piston press was used to produce briquettes at 120 bar compaction pressure using composite sawdust and different …
