Utilising Of Canary Shell As The Material Of Bio-Briquette

Abstract

The current technological advances lead to ever increasing energy needs. One of the sources of energy that have a potential replacement for renewable sources of energy and economically is a bio-mass, such a briquettes. This study purpose to know the processes and stages of manufacture about briquettes from raw canary shell and coal, worth the calories, compressive strength as the rate of combustion. Canary shell crushed and coal, sifted, canary shell and coal then separated by size inside a bag of samples. Canary shell and coal mixed with tapioca flour and water, heated on the stove then mixed to flat, molded and pressed to make it more solid and then dried under the Sun. Making dough briquettes using a composition of 250 gr: 50 gr: 100 ml in comparison with 100%, 50%: 50%, 75%: 25%. Grain size was used in this study consist of 28 mesh, 65, mesh and 80 mesh. Test results from the compressive strength, strong value that it brings the most nice tap in 80 mesh 50: 50 comparison because the most powerful against the heavy pressure. As for the calorie value has the highest calorie content that is 100% canary briquettes 6,354 cal/gr with mesh size of 65.
