Utilization of Industrial Flour Waste as Biobriquette Adhesive: Application on Pyrolysis Biobriquette Sawdust Red Teak Wood

Abstract

Biobriquette is one of the alternative fuels derived from biomass. The biomass used in this research is red teakwood charcoal. This research purposes to utilize red teakwood charcoal as alternative fuels and then to knows best characters compressive strength, ignition power and caloric value according to Indonesian quality standards (SNI 01-6235-2000). Characteristics of biobriquettes are known by test ash content, moisture content, volatile matter, fix carbon, compressive strength, ignition power and caloric value. The materials used are red teakwood plus industrial flour waste. The process of making biobriquette begins with drying the material, pyrolysis during 150 minutes at a temperature of 400 oC, sieved with 40 mesh. The briquetting was using a cube-shaped mold with manual pressure which was then dried in an oven to a constant weight and tested its characteristics by the ASTM (American standard Testing and material) method. The results showed that the added adhesive was very take effect in producing the best briquettes. The characteristics of briquettes with the best optimum adhesive composition produce is adhesive 5% charcoal 95% produce ash content 5.49% , moisture content 4.26 %, volatile matter 26.89 %, fix carbon 63.12%, compressive strength 3.64 kgf/cm2, caloric value 7038 kcal/kg, and ignition power 0.03 gram/minute categorized as passing the specifications for the quality requirements briquettes of SNI 01-6235-2000.

The characteristics and emissions of low-pressure densified torrefied elephant dung fuel briquette

“…The use of cassava starch as a binder may have contributed to the higher VM of fuel briquettes. This could result in increased smoke emissions during combustion (Wahyuni et al 2022). The AC of the TEDB was found to be greater than that of EDB and longan branch, but less than that of raw materials.…”

Biological Rotation Age of Community Teak (Tectona grandis) Plantation Based on the Volume, Biomass, and Price Growth Curve Determined through the Analysis of Its Tree Ring Digitization

“…The carotenoid extractive substances in teak are beneficial for natural dyes for fabrics [87,88], hair dyes [89], dye-sensitized solar cells [90], and natural pigments for textiles, paints, plastics, foods, drugs, and cosmetics [91]. Villagers also exploited teak wood for energy resources like charcoal [92][93][94][95][96], firewood [97], bio-pellets [98], and bio-briquette [99,100]. Its versatile usage keeps the demand for teak high.…”
