Spent coffee grounds are being consolidated as one of the most abundant bioresources in the world for use as green energy. Biodiesel, bioethanol, bio-oil and fuel pellet are biofuels derived of this waste. To get them, spent coffee grounds need to be dried due to their high moisture content. This work analyzes their drying kinetics from isothermal drying experiments in a convective dryer at different temperatures: 100, 150, 200 and 250 degrees C, and sample thicknesses: 5, 10, 15 and 20 mm. Drying curves were fitted with the main mathematical models in the drying of agricultural products where the Two Term Gaussian model got the best results of fit. Drying rate was calculated and analyzed. Effective moisture diffusivities were calculated in a range between 129 . 10(-9) to 28.8 . 10(-9) m(2)/s. Activation energies were 12.29, 12.78, 15.18 and 16.87 kJ/mol for each sample thickness: 5, 10, 15, and 20 mm, respectively. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
