Bio-pellets from empty fruit bunch and durian rinds with cornstarch adhesive for potential renewable energy

In this paper, two biomass that are abundantly available in Malaysia, namely empty fruit bunch and durian rinds were investigated for bio-char production through pyrolysis process. Both biomass was mixed at different ratio and subjected to a temperature of 325 °C with a holding time of 2 h and 5 °C/...
