Studies of Carbonization Process on the Production of Durian Peel Biobriquettes with Mixed Biomass Coconut and Palm Shells

Abstract

Abstract. Biobriquettes as alternative energy that can replace the role of kerosene. Biobriquettes made from agricultural waste biomass. Biobriquettes durian peel has been researched and developed continuously to obtain optimal quality in terms of calorific value, compressive strength and duration of ignition. In making durian peel biobriquettes needed other biomass mix to sustain duration of Ignition for biobriquettes durian skin quickly burned out. Stages of making biobriquettes durian skin are: material of drying, carbonization of biomass, grinding, mixing with adhesives, and printing. Carbonization process is a process that is important in obtaining the biomass charcoal. Carbonization is done by means of karbonisator pyrolysis. The purpose of this research is to study the process of carbonization to obtain biobriquettes durian skin that of quality in terms of value compressive strength, calorific value, and duration of ignition. Variations that done was kind mix of biomass,coconut shells and palm shells with the massa ratio 2 : 1, type of adhesive used tapioca powder and banana peels, carbonization of temperature 200" 300" " skin with a mixture of coconut shell and adhesive tapioca powder and carbonization temperature of 300 " ! cm 2 . The calorific value of the highest on the mix of skin durian with coconut shells and adhesive banana skin with temperature of carbonization 400 " g, and duration of ignition highest on a mixture of skin durian with coconut shell and adhesive banana skin at a temperature of carbonization 300 "

An Overview on the Production of Bio-briquettes from Agricultural Wastes: Methods, Processes, and Quality

“…Agricultural wastes that were studied for characterization, evaluation and production of bio-briquette are but not limited to rice husk & coffee husk (Lubwama & Yiga, 2018), rice husk and bran (Yank et al .,2016); palm oil empty fruit bunches (EFB) (Maitah et al, 2016); sugarcane bagasse and sugarcane leaves (Saputro et al, 2020); tropical fruit wastes -durian fruit, coconut fruit , coffee fruit , cacao fruit, banana fruit and rambutan fruit (Brunerová et al, 2017); rice husk (Suryaningsih et al, 2018); corn cob and rice husk (Nurhayati et al, 2016) ;cornstalk (Wang et al,2017); durian peel with biomass coconut and palm shell (Sari et al 2018); durian shell (Irhamni et al, 2019); durian peel and bagasse (Haryati et al ,2018); nutmeg seed shells (Idris et al,2018); bamboo fiber and sugarcane skin (Brunerová et al, 2018); banana leaves (Maia et al, 2014), cotton dust (Suvunnapob et al, 2015); cotton stalk (Wu et al, 2018), blend of areca nut husk, simarouba seed shell (Ujjinappa & Sreepathi, 2018), cashew nut waste (Ifa et al, 2019). Some briquette production uses one type of biomass in processing while others use the combination of two or more biomass to take advantage of individual uniqueness thus producing better combustibility, more improved physical and chemical characteristics, and durable briquettes (Okot, 2019).…”

“…Then we put it in pyrolysis rotary carbonisator with certain mass, each with a capacity of 3 kg. Variable parameter is carbonization temperature of 200, 250, 300, and 400 o C. This variable is the same as the one tried by [12], with upright carbonization process small scale. Carbonization times are 1 hour and 2 hours.…”
