dc.description.abstractThis study was undertaken to investigate the physical and combustion properties of briquettes produced from non-uniform particle size biomass, Khaya senegalensis leaves at 20%, 30%, 40%, 50% and 60% starch levels (cassava starch binder). The laboratory hydraulic press machine was employed in the briquettes production. The briquettes produced were analyzed for moisture content, ash content, burning rates, compressed density, relaxed density and calorific values which values ranged from 27- 62%, 2.35-7.2%, 1.10 3 3 - 0.5 g/min, 0.87 - 0.97 (g/cm ), 0.367 - 0.552 (g/cm ) and 18.0458 - 24.0223 MJ/kg, respectively. The results revealed that increase in binder concentration has a significant effect on physical and combustion properties of briquettes produced from Khaya senegalensis leaves. The derived briquette energy or heating values were found to be within the ranged of 18.0458 - 24.0223 MJ/kg, which is comparable to energy value to other fuel sources such as sub-bituminous coal and wood, which values are in the range of 20.000-24.730 MJ/kg, 12.23-17.00 MJ/kg respectively. Therefore, producing briquettes from leaves will be a huge opportunity in confronting both the waste problem and the domestic fuel challenge at the same time
