PEMBUATAN BRIKET ARANG DAUN KELAPA SAWIT (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) DENGAN PEREKAT PATI SAGU (Metroxylon sago Rott.)
Abstract: Increasing need of
energy and decreasing of fuel supply requires human to discover alternative
energy resources. Consequently, there should be a research to discover a new
renewable energy source such as palm leaves waste. Oil palm’s leaves (Elaeis
guineensis Jacq.) are mostly the least used waste from oil palm plantation as
an alternative energy resources. This research aims to discover the precise
adhesive consentration rate in sago’s starch (Metroxylon sago Rott.) to make
oil palm’s kernel, which are 97%:3%, 96%:4%, 95%:5%, 94%:6%, and 93%:7%. Based
on analitycal result of oil palm’s leaves charcoal briquet research, the best
quality briquet is the P1 composition which composed rate is 97%:3%, has 3,21%
water content, 30,18% ashes content, 0,0022 g/s combustion rate, 20,73%
evaporated substance rate, 54,46% carbon rate, and 5.114 cal/g heat value.
