Resumen

En Brasil, hay una gran cantidad de biomasa disponible que puede ser alternativa para la producción de pellets, y con el mercado en constante crecimiento, la búsqueda de materias primas con potencial para la generación de energía se convierte en una necesidad para atender al sector. Eucalipto sp. y Pinus sp., son las principales fuentes de abastecimiento de madera en Brasil. Por lo tanto, el objetivo principal de este estudio fue evaluar la calidad de los pellets producidos con diferentes proporciones de mezclas entre partículas de madera de reforestación, Eucalyptus sp. y Pinus sp. Los porcentajes de eucalipto con relación al pino fueron: 0, 10, 20, 50, 80 y 90%. Se realizó la caracterización de las biomasas. Los gránulos se produjeron en una matriz de granulación horizontal a escala de laboratorio con un sistema de vapor calentado. Los pellets fueron evaluados en cuanto a propiedades físicas, químicas, energéticas y mecánicas. El poder calorífico superior disminuyó con el aumento del porcentaje de Eucalyptus sp. en la mezcla. Los contenidos de cloro y cenizas se encuentran dentro del rango establecido por las normas internacionales para pellets de madera. La durabilidad mecánica media de los gránulos producidos fue del 93%. Los pellets con 80% de eucalipto y 20% de pino se destacaron en cuanto a densidad, velocidad de compactación y propiedades mecánicas.
