A PRODUCT developed from waste materials of bamboo processing and chichacorn production by four MMSU researchers was chosen second best poster and third best paper during the 19th National Research Symposium sponsored by the Department of Agriculture’s Bureau of Agricultural Research, Oct. 4-6, in Diliman, Quezon City.
The paper, entitled “Production of kawayan charcoal briquette using chichacorn processing effluent as binder” was authored by Dr. Stanley C. Malab, engineer Jose A. Zafaralla, Prof. Beatriz S. Malab, and Dr. Angelina A. Tagay.
The researchers received the award Oct. 6 at the Manila Hotel.
The same paper was earlier adjudged first place under the development paper category during the 19th ILARRDEC Regional Symposium on R&D Highlights, Aug. 6-7.
The kawayan charcoal briquette is a solid biofuel made up of unwanted bamboo poles and branches as well as trimmings and shavings from processing with the effluent from chichacorn processing as binder.
The waste materials from bamboo go through chemical processing to turn into charcoal. But since bulky and of uneven sizes, the produced charcoals are made into briquettes using the effluent from chichacorn processing as binder.
The production of charcoal briquettes from bamboo is another remarkable stride to attain full utilization of the bamboo. The development of this wood substitute is also one of the important interventions to save the diminishing forest resources of the country. Aside from providing additional income for those involved in the bamboo industry such as farmers and processors, production of these charcoal briquettes also helps reduce environmental hazard as well as pressure on precious wood resources.
