Scientists at Russia's Tomsk Polytechnic University have discovered that wheat bran with additives can be used as an environmentally friendly fuel.
According to Science Direct, this method "helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions, reduce landfills and simplify the creation of mixtures for the efficient use of energy for biomass."
"Experiments were conducted to add calcium carbonate to the bran, and as a result, the ash residue was in the form of a powder, and this indicates that when this mixture is burned, the heating surfaces will be cleaned without much difficulty," said the engineer of the Scientific and Educational Center (Potakova).
Many scientists have worked in recent years to develop biomass fuels and this prompted specialists from Tomsk University to test the bran of one of the flour milling companies in Russia and it was found that one of the by-products of the production of flour milling belongs to low-solubility fuels and that the mineral part of wheat bran calcifies at degrees Fever over 675 degrees Celsius.
