The density of the briquettes measured with a balance and caliper
varied from 0.91 to 1.33 g/cm3. These values are smaller than
the values obtained from eucalyptus charcoal (1.41 g/cm3) using
tar as a binder (Brito and Nucci, 1984) but are in good agreement
with the values (1.08 g/cm3) obtained using others kinds of binders
and wood (Fontes et al., 1991).
