Abstract

We prepared densified wood pellet by agricultural waste. The hemp woody core was used as replacing wood resource. Hemp was separated into the bast fiber and the woody core by hot steaming treatment. The hemp woody core had a similar lignin content(19.4%) and carbohydrate composition with hardwood(20-25% lignin in hardwood), respectively. Also, the hemp had a low ash content(0.5%), which resulted in a low ash formation in pellet burning. Heating value of the hemp pellet(18.40 MJ/kg) had a very similar to the pellet made by hardwoods. The hemp woody core could be replaced the hardwood for densified wood pellet.

종자 수확 후 버려지는 산업용 대마를 이용한 목질 펠릿제조 가능성과 제조된 펠릿의 특성을 살펴보았다. 산업용 대마의 성분 분석 결과 활엽수와 비슷한 리그닌 함량과 당구성을 보였으며, 회분 분석 결과 무기물 함량이 0.5% 정도이어서 연료로 사용할 경우 재의 생산량은 크지 않을 것이다. 원소 분석 결과 대기 오염을 유발할 수 있는 질소와 황 함량을 분석한 결과, 황 성분은 전혀 포함하지 않고 있으며, 약간의 질소 성분을 포함하고 있는데 이는 현사시나무와 비슷한 수준이었다. 고위발열량 측정 결과 대마 목부는 현사시나무보다 다소 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 바이오매스 생산량이 큰 대마 목부를 이용하여 제조한 펠릿은 활엽수로 제조한 펠릿과 비슷한 화학적 성질과 발열 특성을 가질 것으로 기대되어 고체연료로서의 이용이 가능할 것으로 사료되었다.
