The stems of sunflowers can be successfully used
as a raw material for solid fuel production due to their
ingredients: сellulose, hemicellulose and lignin. The high
concentration of above-mentioned compounds defines high
calorific power of biofuel (about 20.6 MJ/kg) made from plant
raw material. The fate of the costs of drying in the cost of
manufacture of solid biofuels from grinded sunflower stems
are large, which increases the cost of the finished product. The
application of the filtration method for drying of the grinded
sunflower stems makes it possible to intensify the dehydration
process and to reduce energy costs.
