The raw biomass rice straw and sugarcane leaves was dried for 3 days in open sunshine, and then it
was used for briquetting. Particle sizes of rice straw and sugarcane leaves used for the study were 1 mm
or less. Suitable raw material combinations were made for briquetting process by manually. Then it is
used as a input for briquetting machine to produce briquetted sample. Briquettes were prepared by adding
molasses binder ratio of 100:50 in each selected biomass sample. The materials were combined at mixing
proportions: 100:0, 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 20:80 and 0:100 (Rice straw: Sugarcane leaves).
