Influences of sulfuric acid treatment on thermo-chemical properties of rice husk-pine sawdust heterogeneous briquettes
emissions (100.67 ± 1.53 mg/MJd), within the Tier 3 limit. Overall, the optimal sulfuric acid treatment condition for effective combustion performance and energy delivery was 1%. However, cost-benefit analysis should be incorporated into future studies for practical real-world application.
