Özet

Large amounts of waste are produced as a result of agricultural activities. A large amount of these wastes

is not used and are disposed of. Therefore, making these released raw materials usable has recently

become important in terms of recycling. One of these recycling methods is the compression processes

of biomass. In this study, the research was carried out on the evaluation of agricultural residues of the

lavender plant grown in Kayseri province and its surroundings. The obtained agricultural residues were

dried to 10-12% moisture level and pellets were obtained in two different grinding fineness’s (5-8) - (8-

10). The physico-mechanical properties and thermal values of the obtained pellets were determined. The

physico-mechanical properties and calorific values of the pellets obtained were determined and the

calorific values of these pellets were compared with other fossil fuels.
