<p><strong>Rubber leaf waste is often found in rubber plantations and is considered of no value to the community. Rubble BricQ (Rubber Leaf Waste Briquettes) is an innovative alternative fuel today by utilizing rubber leaf waste that does not pollute the environment and the price is affordable. Briquettes can replace some of the uses of kerosene and LPG gas such as food processing, drying, burning, and heating. The purpose of this study was to find out how to make Rubble BricQ (Rubber Leaf Waste Briquettes) as an alternative fuel today which is packaged in video form due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This research phase begins by collecting the materials needed to make a Rubble BricQ (Rubber Leaf Waste Briquette) video through digital searches (internet). The result of this research is to know how to make Rubble BricQ (Rubber Leaf Waste Briquettes) as an alternative fuel today through video. Therefore, it can be concluded that Rubble BricQ is made by burning rubber leaf waste into charcoal, pounding it until smooth, adding tapioca flour, molding, drying it to dry, and the results can be used immediately.</strong></p><p><strong><em>Keywords</em></strong><em> - Briquettes, Rubber Leaves, Rubble BricQ.</em></p>
The increasing negative effects of hydro carbon fossil fuels on the environment has called for quest for alternative source of energy. Among the renewable energy sources, biogas has been evaluated as one of the most effective, efficient and environmentally benign sources of energy. This study evaluates the flammability of biogas produced from cow dung compared with firewood. The experiment was conducted batch wise in mixing ratio 1:1 at mesophilic temperature under 25 days retention time. Weighing balance was used to measure the cow dung and firewood. Biogas production and firewood flammability were measured using combustibility test in seconds using stopwatch. The total gas yield was burnt and recorded 5,088 seconds (1hour 24.8mins), on average 1kg of cow dung produces biogas that burns for 636 seconds (10.6mins), the gas burnt with clear blue flame revealing the effectiveness of water scrubbing method, while the 8kg of firewood was burnt 8,208 seconds (2hours 28mins). On average 1kg of wood fuel burns for 1,026 seconds (17.1 mins). Comparing the result in term of flammability and efficiency, Biogas could be used as waste management option, generate light and run vehicles and at the same time replace the use of firewood which produces toxic gases that are harmful to health, thus biogas is more efficient.
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.
