Pengaruh Ukuran Partikel Dan Persentase Perekat Tepung Sagu Terhadap Karakteristik Briket Dari Ampas Sagu Melalui Proses Karbonisasi
Sago pulp is a waste from the sago starch industry. Sago pulp has not been used
optimally. Sago pulp can be used as solid fuel in the form of briquettes. The
calorific value of sago pulp is 3383.51 cal/g. The calorific value can be increased
by the carbonization process followed by the densification process. The
carbonization process aims to increase carbon values and reduce volatile levels.
The densification process aims to increase density. This study aims to study the
effect of variations in treatment on the calorific value and compressive strength of
the briquettes produced. In this study, sago pulp was carbonized at 450°C for 90
minutes. Variations of variables used were sago pulp charcoal particle size
without sieve, 30, 60, and 100 mesh and the percentage of sago flour adhesives
were 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10%. The results showed that the best calorific value of
briquettes was found in the particle size of 100 mesh sago pulp with the
percentage of sago flour adhesive 4%, namely the calorific value of 4924.54 cal/g
with 3% moisture content, 6.25% ash content, 22.55% volatile matter content, and
68.2% fixed carbon content. The best compressive strength of briquettes is found
in 100 mesh particle size with a percentage of 10% sago flour adhesive at 6.77
kg/cm2.
