| Abstract | Biomass has been a very important source of energy throughout the world. Specially, in the developing countries, dependence on biomass is so high that it accounts for 48% of the total use of energy in these countries. But, as time passes by, the gap between demand of biomass and it's supply is getting wider as a result of improper plantation policy adapted by the developing countries. However, in the event of inadequate availability of biomass, it's residues, which otherwise creates disposal problem and environmental pollution, offers uses with high potential of energy. So, experiments are being carried out all over the world in order to facilitate proper use of biomass residues. This thesis study was attempted in view of proper and efficient use of biomass residues. Fluidized and spouted beds were used as the tools to serve the purpose. Residues were also used as a means of charcoal production and the produced charcoal was tested for its quality. Finally attempt was made to convert the charcoal into activated ones that might offer better quality and thus would promote effective use of biomass use. |
