Physical properties of briquettes based on charcoal from selected biomass

摘要: Agriculture biomass has the potential to be used as feedstock for production energy resources in future. In this study, physical properties of different kind based charcoals briquettes with mixing ratios between charcoal and binding agents 90:10, 80:20, 70:30 was determined. Charcoal groundnut shell, durian cassava peel were produce briquette charcoals. The agent found significantly affect properties. Moisture, ash, volatile matter compressive strength increased increasing amount agent. which have similar SNI standard are from shell lowest (10%) had highest silica content followed by peel. As is high, carbon calorific value also high. Silica can converted silicate high material influenced briquettes.
