Process Of Manufacturing Brickets Based On Cendelnut Shell Aleurites (Moluccanus)
Keywords:
Briquettes, Calorific Value, Adhesive, Candlenut ShellAbstract
Briquettes are an energy source derived from biomass, which can be alternative fuel. Candlenut shells contain holocellulose and lignin, which have a high potential as materials for making briquettes. This research aims to determine the effect of density, combustion rate, and heating value on the addition of tapioca adhesive in the manufacture of candlenut shell-based briquettes. The manufacture of candlenut shell briquettes carried out using a pyrolysis process using a temperature of 500oC, particle sizes of 50, 60, 80, and 100 mesh, and tapioca flour adhesive with an adhesive content of 10%, 12.5%, 15%, and 17.5%. These candlenut shell briquettes were tested by analyzing their heating value, burning rate, and density. From the research results, it can concluded that the best results are in briquettes with a particle size of 80 mesh, an adhesive content of 10%, a density value of 0.657 gr/cm3, a combustion rate value of 0.167 g/minute, and a calorific value produced of 6903.25 call/g.
