Abstract:\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This research aims to study the physical properties, such as moisture content and density, of wood pellet manufactured from the wild reed plant, Phragmites australis (leaf, stem, and entire parts of the plant), after manufacturing them by chopping and grinding plant samples, then pressing them with a small homemade press made up of an iron frame with A controllable metal press and a mold to transform them into regular shaped molds and expose them to a high temperature of 105\u00b0C for a period ranging between 20-30 minutes using an electric dryer. After the process of manufacturing the compresses, the moisture content and density of the samples made from the wild reed plant (leaf – stem – all parts of the plant) are calculated. These compresses were manufactured and tested in the wood technology laboratory at the College of Agriculture. The average humidity of the compresses ranged from (7.62 to 16.59) and the average density ranged from (0.330 to 0.924).<\/span><\/p>\n
