Pembuatan Briket Dari Biochar Hasil Co-Torefaksi Tandan Kosong Kelapa Sawit Dan Minyak Goreng Bekas
ABSTRACT
Empty oil palm bunches are lignocellulose biomass waste that has great potential as an alternative fuel. This study aims to evaluate the quality of charcoal briquettes from empty oil palm bunches with variations in the type and concentration of natural adhesives, namely starch and molasses, at concentrations of 7%, 8%, and 9%, respectively. The parameters tested included moisture content, ash content, combustion rate, and calorific value, and compared with the quality standards of briquettes based on SNI 01-6235-2000. The results showed that molasses adhesive with a concentration of 9% was the most optimal formulation, producing the highest calorific value of 29.50 kJ/g and the lowest combustion rate of 0.00438 g/min. All briquette formulations successfully meet the minimum calorific value and maximum moisture content standards set by SNI. However, all briquette samples uniformly met the minimum standard limit of SNI ash content, although the lowest value of 3.26% was achieved with a 7% kanji adhesive. This study concludes that biochar briquettes from TKKS and used cooking oil have great potential as a source of renewable energy.
Keywords: Briquettes, starch adhesive, molasses, moisture content, calorific value, ash content, SNI.
