Table 1.
The proximate analyses, ultimate analyses, and higher heating value (HHV) analyses of MB, MF, and IT.
| Samples | MB | MF | IT | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Proximate analysis (wt%) | Moisture | 0.43 | 0.42 | 0.22 |
| Volatiles | 92.21 | 96.62 | 93.40 | |
| Ash | 0.27 | 0.08 | 0.07 | |
| Fixed carbon | 7.09 | 2.87 | 6.32 | |
| Ultimate analysis (wt%) | C | 62.65 | 85.65 | 51.67 |
| H | 4.78 | 14.43 | 6.81 | |
| O | 31.77 | – | 41.23 | |
| N | 0.1 | ND | ND | |
| HHV (MJ/kg) | 22.79 | 45.88 | 25.04 | |
O (wt%) = 100 % – C – H – N – moisture – ash; Fixed carbon (%) = 100 – moisture – ash – volatiles; ND: Not detected.
