The purpose of the research is to develop and test the characteristics of durian's peels briquette as fuel material. It was tested by applying proximate analysis and was conducted in Laboratories. The researcher carbonized it at temperature 200-500 o C for 1.5 hours. From the process of proximate analysis on 450 o C carbonization temperature could be found that there is 77.87% Fixed Carbon (FC), 0.01% Moisture (M), 3.94% of Volatile Matter (VM) and 18.18% Ash (A). The chemical properties of briquettes gained 0.09% of moisture content, 0.99 g / ml of density, 6,274.29 kcal /kg of calorific value, the size of 100 mesh of briquettes composer particle have compressive strength at 15.10 N/cm 2 apply on 3.8 cm of diameter briquette in high at 6.5 cm.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
