Abstract
The use of the briquetting method consists of compacting biomass with characteristics that are not industrially attractive, as a result, high-density and uniform products such as pellets and briquettes are generated. In Brazil, the main species planted for industrial use is eucalyptus, as a result of the industrial process, various residues are generated, including sawdust. In this work, we used eucalyptus sawdust from a sawmill to produce briquettes, and lignocellulosic residue generated in the production of second-generation ethanol was used as a binder. The results indicate that the use of lignocellulosic waste as a binder has the potential to provide improvements in mechanical strength, density and energy properties. The highest density found was for the use of 20% of the lignocellulosic residue of 984 kg m -3. And the highest mechanical resistance was 1257 MPa for the eucalyptus briquette with 20% of the lignocellulosic residue.
