Cylindrical briquettes of three different sizes were produced out of ground rice hulls using starch as the binder and a piston-type manually-operated briquettor as the press. Three types of briquettes were experimentally studied: (a) pure rice hulls, (b) NaCI-treated, and (c) NazCO3-treated rice hul...
