The existence of the wood needs to be considered so that the use of wood for a particular use needs to pay attention to the quality of wood, both for wood for building materials, furniture, panels, crafts and so on. The weakness of wood compared to substitutes such as metal and concrete is its hygroscopic nature. The aim of this study was to determinethe effect of wood parts treatment on axial direction and sticker thickness on natural drying time on changes in the physical properties of gerunggang wood (Cratoxylon arborescens Bl.). While the expected benefits are as information material for the wood processing industry and wood users to be able to dry the wood properly. The research was conducted at the Forest Products Technology Laboratory for 3 months. Cutting is done by dividing the length of the stem into 3 (three) equal parts in the axial position, namely the base (a1), middle (a2) and end (a3), each cut length ± 2 m for the board (example drying test) ) with ± 2 cm thick and ± 15 cm long for example test of moisture content, specific gravity and shrinkage. The results showed that the average value of fresh water content, saturated point moisture content, and air dry water content had a tendency to decrease in value from the base to the end of the stem. The natural dryingtime has an average tendency to dry more quickly from the base to the end of the stem, with drying times ranging from 28-40 days or an average of 33 days. The end of the wood with a thickness of 3,5 cm sticker dries faster (25 days) with a defect 1 broken edge. Parts of wood with a sticker thickness of 3,5 cm dries faster than the thickness of the stickers 2,5 cm and 1,5 cm. The results of measurements of (BJ) density of gerunggang wood averaged 0,55 including the medium group (BJ 0,4-0,6). Specific gravity has a tendency to increase in value from the base to the end of the rod with an uneven pattern including type 3. The tangential and radial direction shrinkage ratio of 1,88 is included in the medium classification, then gerunggang wood can be used for boards and lightweight construction under the roof, crates, furniture, plywood andconcrete molds. It is recommended to conduct further research on the possibility of using gerunggang wood for artificial boards.Keywords: drying, wood parts, physical properties, gerunggang.

The production volume or amount of Acacia wood used is generally low compared to thevolume of wood harvested. Not a few woods that are cut cause wood harvesting wastesuch as branches and twigs. One of the uses is processing the waste into activatedcharcoal. Activated charcoal is charcoal whose cavities or pores are cleaned from othercompounds so that the adsorption power of liquids and gases increases. This researchuses the Acacia wood of the stem, branches and twigs which is first through thecarbonization process and then used as activated charcoal. The active charcoal testsinclude yield, moisture content, volatile matter content, ash content, carbon boundcontent, absorption of benzene, absorption of iodine and absorption of methylene blue.Acacia quality test results of the stem, branches and twigs show that the activatedcharcoal of the stem has better quality than the active charcoal of branches and twigs.Overall the results of testing the quality of activated charcoal not all treatments meet therequirements of SNI 06-3730-1995, but when compared with the requirements of thequality of pharmaceutical chemistry, all tests for each treatment meet the qualitystandard requirements. The application of activated charcoal to drilled well water doesnot all improve water quality but still qualifies the drinking water quality standardsMinister of Health Regulation No: 416/Menkes/Per/IX /1990.Keywords: Active Charcoal, Acacia, Trunk, Branches, Branches, Drilling Well Water

Charcoal briquettes can be an alternative energy and can be produced from Gerunggang and Tumih types of wood. These two types of wood are commonly found in Kalampangan Village as pioneer plants on burned peatlands. The research objective was to determine the chemical properties of charcoal briquettes produced from biomass waste from land processing without burning with several compositions of Gerunggang wood and Tumih wood. The chemical properties of charcoal briquettes refer to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-6235-2000) and Standard Permen ESDM No. 047 of 2006. The results showed that all composition treatments in the ash content test, fixed carbon content and calorific value met the standards, while the test for volatile content in all treatment compositions did not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-6235-2000). The composition of the most potential chemical properties and following the two standards used is the composition of 100% Tumih with ash content of 7.67%, volatile matter content of 27.23%, fixed carbon of 55.00%, and heating value of 5902.18 cal/g.
