BRIKET ARANG DARI LIMBAH ARANG PT. CITRA PRIMA UTAMA BANJARBARU
Abstract: This study aims to
determine the quality of the physical properties of charcoal briquettes made
from charcoal-making industrial waste by using adhesive to glue the different
concentrations. The benefits of this research may provide information to the
company, or to the public on the use of charcoal briquettes from waste charcoal
as an alternative energy to reduce the use of wood as fuel, reducing the use of
kerosene and other fossil energy.The method used is using Completely Randomized
Design (CRD). With a mixture of charcoal and adhesive composition as a
treatment factor. The observed variables are density, moisture, ash, fly
substance content, and calorific value of residual carbon from charcoal
briquettes produced. The results showed the treatment does not give effect to
some responses off so that the overall charcoal briquettes produced have a
value of average water content of 3839%, an average ash content of 20.986%, the
average density 1.036 gram/cm3, average flying substances average 27.7%, and
the average calorific value of 4995.061 calories. when compared to America
Standard, Japan Standard and British standar the produced charcoal briquettes
do not meet these standards, so the charcoal briquettes prodused can only be
used for local scale.
