Karakteristik Briket Arang Tongkol Jagung Dengan Penambahan Arang Kulit Buah Pinang
ABSTRACT
Corn cobs and areca peel are biomass waste that can be used in the form of
charcoal briquettes as an alternative source of energy because they contain lignin
and cellulose. The purpose of this research was the best obtain character briquettes
from a combination corncobs charcoal and areca peel charcoal. This study used a
Completely Randomized Design (CRD) which consist of five treatments and three
replications. The treatments in this research include ratio of corncobs charcoal and
areca peel charcoal 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. Data were statistically
analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA) and then continued with Duncan’s
New Multiple Range Test (DNMRT) at 5% level. The result of analysis showed
that the ratio of corncobs charcoal and areca peel affect on density, water content,
volatile matter content, fix carbon content, ash content but did not significantly
affected calorific value. The best treatment briquettes was (90:10) with density
content 0.66 g/cm3, water content 4.23%, volatile matter content 15.01%, ash
content 3.68%, fixed carbon content 77.07% and calorific value of 6,528.73 cal/g.
