In most of the south Asian countries agricultural by-products and waste of wood industries are the major biomass solid wastes. Utilizing these wastes for improved energy recovery a tremendous energy saving could be realized. Pyrolysis, a thermochemical conversion process has been projected as one of the most competitive ways of producing liquid fuel from organic solid waste. For this purpose studies on the characteristics of solid wastes are essential in selecting suitable feedstocks as well as in the design and construction of a suitable thermal conversion system. In this study investigations have been conducted on the characterization of locally available agricultural by-products: rice-straw, jute-stick and bagasse. This primary characterization included the physical properties, proximate analysis, elemental analysis, calorific value and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The physical characteristic of these wastes such as particle size distribution and bulk density have been considered. The elemental composition by ultimate analysis, in terms of carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen and sulfur (CHNOS) content of the selected biomass was determined. The thermal characteristics of the selected solid wastes were obtained by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). From these studies it is found that rice-straw, jutestick and bagasse are good feedstocks for conversion to get liquid fuel. It is also found that the operating temperature range of the conversion system to be designed for the selected biomass is 300 to 600C. Thus, further pyrolysis studies may be proceeded using these feed materials.
