Tabah bamboo,, husk, briquette characteristics, adhesive percentage briquettesAbstract
This study aims to determine the characteristics and effects of the types of raw materials and the percentage
of different adhesives on the quality of the resulting briquettes and determine which treatment gives the best results
for the characteristics of the resulting briquettes. This study used a factorial randomized block design (RBD) using
2 factors and 3 replications. The first factor (A) is the type of raw material which consists of 3 levels, namely tabah
bamboo (A1), rice husk (A2) and a mixture of tabah bamboo and rice husk (A3). The second factor (B) is the
percentage of adhesive which consists of 3 levels, namely the percentage of 10%, (B1) 15% (B2) and 20% (B3).
The research parameters observed were moisture content, ash content, volatile substance content and combustion
rate. All treatments were repeated 3 times in order to obtain 27 experimental units. The data obtained were analyzed
by means of variance and if there was a significant treatment effect, it was continued with the Duncan Multiple
Test (DMRT). Based on the results of the study, it is known that the treatment interaction has a significant effect
on the parameters of moisture content, ash content, volatile substance content and combustion rate. Furthermore,
the water content obtained ranged from 2.30% wt - 4.78%, bb ash content 5.88% - 34.85%, evaporating substance
content 31.30% - 51.59% and combustion rate 73.20 gr / minute - 106.00 gr / minute. The best quality of briquettes
was obtained in A2B3 treatment (80 grams of rice husk 20 grams of adhesive) where the resulting moisture content
was 2.30% BW, 32.29% ash content, 32.01% volatile substance content and 92.60 gr burning rate /minute.
