"May 1930." Also issued as author's thesis (Ph. D.)--Columbia University, 1929. Includes bibliographical references (p. 29-30).The object of this investigation was to find a method for the profitable
disposal of the large amounts of wood wastes from the saw mills of our
Southern States.
As a result of this investigation, a process has been developed for the
manufacture of a high grade fuel briquette involving the following steps:
1. The wood waste in the form of sawdust, is preheated to destroy the
elasticity of the wood. This preheating also eliminates moisture and considerable
combined oxygen and hydrogen from the wood with the result that
the weight is decreased about one-third and the heating value per pound
almost doubled.
2. The preheated sawdust is then moistened and briquetted hot without
addition of a binder. The resulting briquettes are firm and strong
enough to stand rough handling and they resist weathering to an extent
which should permit shipment and storage if protected from rainfall.
3. The optimum conditions of carrying out the various steps in the
process have been determined and a study made of costs of plant and operation
for a 20 ton per day plant. |
