Blended briquettes can improve combustion properties compared to individual components, enhancing energy efficiency.
The best mix ratio for optimal fixed carbon in briquettes is 2.3:1.1:1, yielding a fixed carbon value of about 6.986%.
Using response surface methodology with Design-Expert® software, the interaction of various agricultural residues was thoroughly explored.
This study highlights the potential of agricultural by-products as a sustainable alternative to traditional firewood in energy production.
