PEMANFAATAN ARANG BRIKET LIMBAH TONGKOL JAGUNG SEBAGAI BAHAN BAKAR ALTERNATIF

Abstract

This study aims to utilize corn cob charcoal made briketdengan using sago pereket used variation in the ratio between sago and charcoal are: 1:3, 1:4, 2:3, 2:5. charcoal briquettes are made of corn cobs proksimasi testing include: air.kadar ash content, volatile compounds decomposition levels, the levels of heat, carbon-bound, and test the density of briquettes. comparing the corn cob charcoal briquettes with briquette quality standards through test proksimasi. test results of corn cob charcoal briquettes proksimasi dalah as follows: the level of water in 1:3 variation was 6.66%.,, 1:4 is 7.30%., 2:3 is 8.66%., 2:5 is 7.50%., 1:3 variation in ash content was 3.28%., 1:4 is 3.11%., 2:3 and 2:5 were 3.50% is 3.40%., Dekomposi volatile compounds in variations of 1:3 is 44.58., 1:4 is 58.99%., 2:3 is 2:5 adalah51 62.02%, 30%. Carbon bound to the variation of 1:3 is 45.48%., 1:4 is 54.56., 2:3 and 2:5 is 25.84 is 41.20. Calorific value of the variation of 1:3 is 6757kal / g. 1:4 is 6150kal / g., 2:3 is 3758 cal / g and 2:5 is 2912 cal / g.Kerapatan at 1:3 variation is 0.63 g/cm3., 1:4 is 0.60 g / cm3.,., 2:3 is 0.56 cal / g and 2:5 is 0.55 cal / g. Corn cob briquettes charcoal briquettes meet the quality standards by having a calorific value and high decomposition of volatile compounds that corn cob briquettes are of good quality
