Abstract

Conversion of the organic wastes and losses into COMPOST is an appropriate technique to stabilize organic materials. One of the limitative factors in transportation and storing of COMPOSTs is their low specific mass which usually leads to increased costs in their handling and processing. To overcome this, several such methods as PELLETing have been proposed especially for the efficient handling of voluminous materials. Throughout the present study, the effects of PELLET particle size (two levels: 1 and 2 mm), PELLET’s moisture content (at three levels: 25, 35, and 45%, wet basis), and kneading length (three levels: 1, 2, and 3 m) have been investigated on some mechanical properties of obtained PELLETs namely fracture energy, fracture force, as well as toughness. Obtained PELLETs were produced using a kneading extruder apparatus. Experimental results showed that the effect of LENGTH OF KNEADING on all studied mechanical properties was significant (p<0.01). Maximum values were recorded for 3 m kneading lengths. The highest fracture force (556.32N) was determined for PELLETs with 35% moisture content and 3 m kneading length. Furthermore, a maximum level of toughness (1.03 MJ.m3) was recorded for COMPOST PELLETs with 1 mm particle size and 3 m kneading length.
