3.3 Equilibrium Moisture Content
As shown in Table 1, the equilibrium moisture content (e.m.c.) of the briquettes ranged between 5.4 % and 13.3%. There was no clearly discernible pattern in e.m.c variation with increase in coconut husk content. However, the observed values fall within the range of values (7.7 – 15.1%, wet basis) reported by Wamukonya and Jenkins (1995) for sawdust and wheat-straw briquettes, and the range of values (12 -20 %, wet basis)
