Effect of raw material properties and die geometry on the density of biomass pellets from composted municipal solid waste

Densification of biomass feedstocks, such as pelletizing, can increase bulk density, improve storability, reduce transportation costs, and ease the handling of biomass using existing handling and storage equipment for grains. In order to study the pelletizing process, compost pellets were produced un...
