Quality Corn Cob for Biomass, Industrial and Agricultural Applications
MAA Associate supplies Corn Cob, also known as maize cob, a natural agricultural by-product obtained after the removal of corn kernels. Corn cob is a fibrous, lignocellulosic material used in biomass energy production, industrial heating, briquette manufacturing, absorbent products, and various agricultural and industrial applications.
Corn cob is a valuable renewable resource for businesses seeking alternative biomass fuels and useful raw materials derived from agricultural residues. Depending on the intended application, it can be supplied in whole, crushed, ground, or granulated form, subject to availability.
Product Overview
Corn cob contains cellulose, hemicellulose, lignin, and other organic components. Its physical structure and energy content make it suitable for biomass combustion, densified fuel production, and selected material-processing applications.
Processed corn cob is also used as an absorbent material, animal bedding component, and gentle abrasive for certain industrial cleaning and surface-finishing operations.
MAA Associate focuses on providing product information and discussing supply requirements according to customer specifications and intended use.

Technical Specifications of Corn Cob
The following table provides indicative reference values for raw corn cob biomass. Published studies report heating values around 15–18 MJ/kg, while moisture and ash content can vary substantially between samples and processing conditions.
| Parameter | Typical Value |
|---|---|
| Product Name | Corn Cob / Maize Cob |
| Origin | Corn and maize processing |
| Physical Form | Whole, crushed, ground, or granulated |
| Colour | Golden yellow to light brown |
| Moisture Content | Approximately 6–15% for dried material |
| Ash Content | Approximately 2–5% in some samples; higher values are reported in other studies |
| Calorific Value | Approximately 15–18 MJ/kg (about 3,585–4,300 kcal/kg) |
| Bulk Density | Depends on size, crushing, and packing method |
