Characteristics of fuel granules from different wood species

The results of the elemental analysis of the wood and bark of three main tree species used as raw materials for the production of fuel granules in the Northwestern region and the granules themselves, the results of diffractometric studies, and data and micrographs obtained on an analyzer of the specific surface areas of pores and on an electron microscope are reported. These results make an additional contribution to the current concepts of processes that occur in plants for the production of fuel granules and in the burners of heat-generating aggregates and give impetus to new studies in this area.
