Charcoal,Briquettes, Siwalan FrondsAbstract
Palm tree fronds are a cellulose material that is suitable for use as a basic material for making briquettes.
The aim of this research is to obtain the characteristics of briquettes from siwalan frond charcoal with
different mesh sizes and adhesive percentages and to obtain treatment parameters that produce the best
quality siwalan frond briquettes. In this research, a Randomized Group Design (RAK) experimental
design was used with two factors. The first factor is the variation in mesh size which consists of 3 mesh
variations (S1: 60 mesh, S2: 80 mesh) and the second factor is the adhesive percentage which consists of
5 variations (M1: 30%, M2: 35%, M3: 40%, M4: 45%, M5: 50%. By combining this experimental design
which was repeated twice, 20 repetition samples were obtained. The parameters that are focused on in this
research are the amount of water content, the amount of ash content, compressive strength, density and
combustion rate. The results of this research are that there is a significant interaction between charcoal
particle size and adhesive percentage on parameters such as water content, ash content, compressive
strength, density and burning rate. The best treatment was obtained using 80 mesh size and an adhesive
percentage of 50%, water content with a value of 6.66%, ash content with a value of 4.35%, compressive
strength of 64.16 N, mass density with a value of 0.43 g/cm³ and combustion rate with a value of
0.107gr/minute.
