KARAKTERISTIK PEMBAKARAN BIOBRIKET KULIT DAN CANGKANG KARET (HEVEA BRASILIENSIS) DENGAN PEREKAT GLYSERIN
Abstract: Some studies have
been done on utilizing biomass from agriculture such as the leather and shell of
rubber (Hevea brasiliensis) were not used optimally in Indonesia as an
alternative energy which developed by making biobriquet to achieved the higher
energy that could be used in the combustion process.. In this study, the
biobriquet was made of the leather and the shell of rubber by comparisson of
the leather and shell were: 0%: 91%; 45.5%: 45.5%; 55%: 36%; 64%: 27%; 91%:
0%.Glyserin 9% for each percentage of biobriquet was used as adhesive material
and thedrying temperature of 110 oC. This study aims to investigate the
characteristics of biobriquet combustion which made of the leather and shell of
rubber. The results shows that the biobriquetcombustion process which made of
64% rubber leather and 27% rubber shell has a calorific value of 5313,923
Kal/gr. In 20 seconds of initial ignition, the combustion process shows the improvement
such as increased concentrations of the flammable leather, bluish red fire.
