    The giant sensitive plant had the most appropriated qualifications for pellet production, as it contained a low content of moisture (3.07%) and ash (2.68%), and a high percentage of fixed carbon (14.13%) and volatile matter (80.12%) with the highest lower heating value of 18,334.08 J/g. It was found that a higher mixing ratio of water for pelletization led to increasing moisture and ash content but resulted in lower volatile matter and fixed carbon. The best mixing ratio for was 8% of water by weight, at which the evaluated properties of the giant sensitive plant pellets: LHV, FC, VM and ash content, were 18,747.46 J/g, 10.92%, 78.77% and 2.24%, respectively. The evaluation of the physical properties of the pellets revealed that a higher amount of water resulted in a larger diameter, greater length and higher fines content. Comparison of pellets from this work with the standard classes of biomass pellets found that the giant sensitive plant pellets could be classified in class I3. It was clearly seen that the weed can be utilized as a useful biomass fuel and formed in a pellet shape for combustion in industrial sectors.

    Biomass pellets are required as a source of energy because of their abundant and high energy. The rapid measurement of pellets is used to control the biomass quality during the production process. The objective of this work was to use near infrared (NIR) hyperspectral images for predicting the properties, i.e., fuel ratio (FR), volatile matter (VM), fixed carbon (FC), and ash content (A), of commercial biomass pellets. Models were developed using either full spectra or different spatial wavelengths, i.e., interval successive projections algorithm (iSPA) and interval genetic algorithm (iGA), wavelengths and different spectral preprocessing techniques. Their performances were then compared. The optimal model for predicting FR could be created with second derivative (D2) spectra with iSPA-100 wavelengths, while VM, FC, and A could be predicted using standard normal variate (SNV) spectra with iSPA-100 wavelengths. The models for predicting FR, VM, FC, and A provided R<sup>2</sup> values of 0.75, 0.81, 0.82, and 0.87, respectively. Finally, the prediction of the biomass pellets’ properties under color distribution mapping was able to track pellet quality to control and monitor quality during the operation of the thermal conversion process and can be intuitively used for applications with screening.
