Pre-Design of Bio-Briquette Production Using Kenari Shell

Abstract

At present, coconut shell charcoal briquettes are one of the alternative energy sources that are in demand by the export market. The purpose of this research was to produce an alternative briquette product based on local natural materials. Kenari shell is a waste of natural materials or biomass. The characteristics of Kenari shells have the same structure with coconut shell. The pre-design of briquette production of this Kenari shell used pre-treatment process stages, charcoal making, destruction, printing with adhesive variation, drying, and SNI quality of briquette quality analysis. The results of pre-design of bio-briquette production of Kenari shell showed that the application of the method and the basic ingredients of waste could produce the product of charcoal briquettes equal to charcoal briquettes of coconut shell.

Kualitas Biobriket Ampas Tebu Hasil Pirolisis Sebagai Sumber Energi Alternatif

“…Penggunaan biomassa secara langsung sebagai bahan bakar kurang efisien, maka perlu diubah menjadi energi kimia terlebih dahulu, misalnya diubah menjadi biobriket dan bioarang. Sebab biobriket dan bioarang memiliki nilai bakar lebih tinggi dibandingkan biomassa [6]. Hasil penelitian yang dilakukan pada pengujian kadar air, nilai kalor, dan laju pembakaran dapat dilihat pada Tabel 1.…”

Sustainability of multifaceted usage of biomass: A review

“…Similarly, periwinkle shell is obtained from the consumption of periwinkle ( Taulbee et al., 2009 ; Nwabue et al., 2017 ) and rice husk is derived from the processing of rice ( Ikelle et al., 2017 ). Studies have shown that when these materials are compacted, they can be highly beneficial to many domestic and industrial processes ( Kulkarni et al., 2019 ; Sundari et al., 2019 ). Biomass waste have been considered as a renewable alternative source of energy, which will reduce dependency on fossil fuel ( Adeleke et al., 2021 ).…”

Ash analyses of bio-coal briquettes produced using blended binder

“…Several researchers have carried out ash analyses using various techniques for different fuel samples. Most researchers analysed mainly for the percentage content of ash in fuel using conventional ash content test specified by ASTM D3174 standard 3 , 15 , 19 , 20 . To properly elucidate the role of the ash content of fuel during the application, a more detailed analysis is required.…”

“…Thus, the increase in desert encroachment and the extinction of wildlife species. Perennial flooding, earthquakes, tsunamis, and wildfires are some of the natural havocs man has faced as a result of these activities 3 . Meanwhile, the use of fossil fuel, as a source of energy, is adjudged as one of the primary causes of the thinning away of the ozone layer due to the release of harmful CO x and NO x gases, thereby leading to global warming [4][5][6] .…”

“…This is one major rationale that has driven many researchers to consider eco-friendly alternative fuel. Researches have shown that biomass can be compacted into a potent energy source through briquetting 3,[7][8][9][10][11][12] . The use of loose biomass will not only prevent the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere but will also prevent further encroachment into forest resources, while at the same time ensuring that our communities are kept clean by converting these biomasses into energy products 10 .…”
