Granulometrical and Morphological Analysis
In the case of bagasse before milling in a hammer
mill, the attempt to correlate the percent of “fine
fraction” (total passing mesh 18) with storage time
did not give satisfactory results.
However, it could be observed that in all cases,
obtained average values are always higher than the
initial value. In the case of milled bagasse, a
significant correlation was not found between the
percent of “fine fraction” and storage time either.
A comparison for each type of bagasse regarding
the content of fines in non milled and milled
material is shown in Table 2. The values are only
analyzed at the beginning and the average of the
rest of measures.
