APROVEITAMENTO DE RESÍDUOS DE MADEIRAS PARA PRODUÇÃO DE BRIQUETES EM MADEIREIRA DO SUL DE MINAS GERAIS

Abstract

This work discusses the use of sawdust and other residues produced in the mechanical processing of wood and suggests the use of these discards in the production of briquettes. In addition to financial loss, it is also known that because of lack of knowledge, this material is often discarded in inappropriate places, also generating an environmental concern. The proposed objective is the implantation of a system for the use of the residues, produced during the processing of the wood, from the production of briquettes. Based on these statements, this study seeks to reflect on the economic and environmental importance for the reuse of wood residues. The analysis showed that with the 150 kg / day of wood waste, produced for 23 monthly days in which the lumber is put into operation, 3.45 tons of waste will be produced, which if transformed into briquettes could generate a revenue of R $ 793 , 50 with the sale of these. In 3.5 years the investment with the assembly of the briquetadeira would be giving return. Demonstrating to be economically and sustainably viable.
