Abstract

A characterization campaign (collection and sorting) first made it possible to know the composition and the flow of household and similar waste in Dakar area and to see the methods of energy recovery possible in this case the production of biofuels. The carbonization method is used to observe the optimum conditions for preparing solid waste briquettes by a molding process with a hand press. Subsequently, we determined the carbonization efficiency and some physical parameters that characterize the quality of biofuels produced (dry matter, moisture, ash content, calorific value, density). The effect of the binder level used in the formulation of the briquettes was also studied.
