Size, Shape and Density Characterization of Tobacco Waste Particles

Abstract:

There is an increasing concern about environmental problems associated with the rising emissions of CO₂, NO_x and SO_xdue to the use of fossil fuels. Thus, renewable energy based on biomass could contribute to relieve the environmental and energy problems. Biomass energy conversion covers the processing of industrial and agricultural wastes, taking advantage of materials that would be discarded. In this work, tobacco residue characterization is studied; the material is a waste of tobacco industry. Values of true density were inferred for three different ranges of particle sizes and particles size and shape were studied for the three set of particles using dynamic digital image processing. The results show differences in physical characteristics of the biomass, varying the particle size.
