A Fundamental Study for Mechanical Properties and It’s Combustion Properties by Buck Wheat Chaff Biocokes

Bio-coke which is the solid fuel using the biomass wide and distributed was developed. I worked on the cooperation type study which combined regional development with renewable energy. Blowfish was being cultivated as a part of town renewal by Tokamachi city in Niigata prefecture which an advanced place and a possibility of the Bio-coke was considered as fuel substitution of the heating boiler which is being used for a water temperature adjustment of the water tank. The town is a specialty area by Hegi soba, Bio-coke is made from the buck wheat chaff which is the industrial waste occurring there and if it’s possible to change to heat energy by a heating boiler, it can achieve local production for local consumption by the renewable energy in the area. Mechanical properties and it’s combustion properties of the Bio-coke grain-size of buck wheat chaff of a raw material could make the formation temperature were checked and estimated to achieve practical use of the Bio-coke for which buckwheat chaff was utilized here.
