PENGARUH UKURAN PARTIKEL BIOARANG AMPAS TEBU TERHADAP KUALITAS BRIKET
Abstract
The energy source commonly used is fossil fuels but the availability of fossil fuels is decreasing over time. To overcome the limitations of fossil fuels, renewable energy sources are needed, one of which is biocharcoal briquettes from bagasse. Bagasse is a waste that is mostly produced from sugar factories. In 2021, the amount of sugarcane for sugar production is 2.350.809 tons with a total bagasse of 35-40%, which can be estimated at 822.783,15 tons.. Bagasse has a cellulose content of 52.7%, which has the potential to be used as raw material for making biocharcoal briquettes. One of the factors that affect the quality of biocharcoal briquettes is particle size. In this study, briquettes were made using biocharcoal from bagasse with variations in biocharcoal particle sizes of 20 mesh, 40 mesh, 60 mesh, 80 mesh and 100 mesh with the aim of determining the effect of particle size on the quality of the briquettes produced. The results of this study show that the smaller the particle size of the biocharcoal used shows the quality of briquettes is decreasing. The best biocharcoal particle size in this study is briquettes with a particle size of 20 mesh with moisture content values (6.14%), volatile matter levels (55.0374%), ash content (2.9498%), fixed carbon content (35.8728%) and calorific value (5417.52 cal / g).
