Abstract
English
Biomass waste that has not been utilized properly is wood waste from Sengon (Falcataria moluccana). There is a high potential for these wastes to be used as solid fuel. The quality can be further improved by converting them into charcoal briquettes. This study aimed to determine the effects of adhesive content on the bioenergetic properties of charcoal briquette from sengon wood wastes. Sengon wood waste charcoal was produced with a pyrolysis method at a temperature of > 500 ℃. The charcoal briquettes were produced by mixing charcoal powders with tapioca starch with 5%, 10%, and 15%. The mixed charcoal powders and adhesives were then put into a metal cast and pressed using a Universal Testing Machine (UTM) Testometric M500-50AT under compression of 2,59-5,17 N/mm2 and a target density of 0,5 g/cm3. Biomass briquettes from sengon wood particles were also produced for comparison. The results showed oven-dry density of 0,23-0,25 g/cm3 and 0,18-0,20 g/cm3, for charcoal briquettes and biomass briquettes, respectively. Higher adhesive content increased the density of briquettes. Charcoal briquettes were more hydrophobic than biomass briquettes (control), showing a lower moisture content than control samples. The results of proximate analysis of charcoal briquettes showed volatile matter of 24,96–31,80%; ash content of 3,16–3,24%; and fixed carbon of 58,68–66.40%. Higher adhesive content increased the volatile matter, moisture content, and ash content of the charcoal briquettes and decreased the fixed carbon. The charcoal briquettes have a calorific value of 25,68-27,35 MJ/kg (6.137,67- 6.536,80 cal/g), which is remarkably higher than the control. Higher adhesive content tended to decrease the calorific value of the charcoal briquettes. Lower adhesive content will produce briquettes with good bioenergy characteristics. Sengon wood waste charcoal briquettes with 5% adhesive content have great potential to be developed as an alternative energy source.

Limbah biomassa yang belum dimanfaatkan dengan baik salah satunya adalah limbah kayu sengon (Falcataria moluccana). Limbah tersebut berpotensi untuk digunakan sebagai bahan bakar. Kualitasnya dapat lebih ditingkatkan dengan mengubahnya menjadi briket arang. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui pengaruh kandungan perekat terhadap sifat bioenergi briket arang limbah kayu sengon. Pembuatan briket dilakukan dengan mencampurkan serbuk arang dan tepung tapioka dengan konsentrasi 5%, 10%, dan 15%. Briket biomassa dari serbuk kayu sengon (tanpa pirolisis) juga diproduksi sebagai pembanding. Kerapatan briket kering oven adalah 0,23-0,25 g/cm3. Kadar perekat yang lebih tinggi meningkatkan kerapatan briket. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa briket arang lebih hidrofobik dibandingkan dengan kontrol. Hasil analisis proksimat briket arang adalah kadar zat terbang sebesar 24,96–31,80%; kadar abu 3,16–3,24%; dan karbon tetap 58,68–66,40%. Kadar perekat yang lebih tinggi meningkatkan kadar air, zat terbang, serta kadar abu dan menurunkan nilai karbon tetap. Briket arang memiliki nilai kalor 25,68-27,35 MJ/kg jauh lebih tinggi daripada kontrol. Kadar perekat yang lebih tinggi cenderung menurunkan nilai kalor briket arang. Kadar perekat yang rendah akan menghasilkan briket dengan karakteristik bioenergi yang baik. Briket arang limbah kayu sengon dengan perekat 5% sangat potensial untuk dikembangkan sebagai sumber energi alternatif.
