Abstract

Palm frond has been utilized only for raw source of animal feed, compost and organic fertilizer in plantation area. Oil palm fronds has calorific value of 17.200 kJ/kg. Calorific value can be enhanced by carbonization followed by densification. By carbonization, the elements of smoke maker is able to be minimalized, so it will produce the green exhaust gases. Biomass densification aims to increase density and decrease handling issue such as storage and transportation. Calorific value of densification product can be enhanced more by adding filler like crude glycerol that has calorific value of 25.932,75 kJ/kg. This research aims to produce bricket using densification form palm fronds, to know the impact of particle size, filler composition and pressing pressure in product forming also to know the resulted calorific value and compressive strength of resulted product. Particle size used were 60, 80 dan 100 mesh. Filler composition used were 90 : 10, 80 : 20 dan 70 : 30. Pressing pressure used were 80, 90 dan 100 bar. Highest calorific value resulted was 27.359 kJ/kg at 100 mesh particle size, filler composition of 90:10 and pressing pressure of 100 bar. Highest compressive strength resulted was 37,2 Kg/cm2 at 60 mesh particle size, filler composition of 90:10 and pressing sressure of 100 bar. The most affecting factor to calorific value and compressive strength are filler composition and pressing pressureKeywords: Densification, Carbonization, Compressive Strength, Calorific Value, Oil Palm Fronds

Abstract

Palm oil trunk until this date is a waste which still not been used maximally, so palm oil trunk have potential to be used as alternative energy resource of solid fuel with the way of increasing its calorific value through carbonization process. Carbonization is converting process of biomass to become charcoal at temperature range 300-600 oC in inert condition. The objective of this research is to study the characteristics of resulted solid fuels. Palm oil carbonization used tube furnace as reactor within operating conditions of temperature (350, 400 and 450 oC), residence time (90, 120 and 150 minutes) and feed size (2, 4 and 6 cm). The analized responses were calorific value and volatile matter content. Obtained result for calorific value amounts 24,426.300-28,929.100 kJ/kg and volatile matter content amounts 8-19 %. The obtained analysis is processed using Design Expert v7.0.0 Trial Version. Processing data begins with using first order to see the degree of curvature. Degree of curvature obtained indicate the model to use is second order. Level of significance between variables can be observed from the value of P-value < 0,05 and lack of fit > 0,05, which indicate that model is suitable with the obtained data. R2 obtained for Y1 = 0.9486 and Y2 = 0.9704. The most influential factors to all responses are carbonization temperature followed with residence time and feed size. At optimum operating conditions (temperature 449,99 °C during 149,96 minutes with feed size 2 cm), the value of optimum responses obtained are Y1= 28.282,2 kJ/kg and Y2 = 9,234 %.Keywords : biomass, carbonization, optimization, palm oil trunk, rsm, solid fuel

Abstract

Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB) is one of the palm oil plantation waste that has not been utilized optimally. EFB fiber has a good strength, low density, and it can be used for substituting synthetic fiber composite. However, the strength of EFB fibers is lower than that of synthetic fibers. In addition, EFB fibers also have a poor interface with the matrix and relatively high water absorption. Several methods can be used to increase the bonding strength between the fibers and matrix, alkaline treatment and the addition of coupling agent into the matrix. One of the coupling agent is Maleated Natural Rubber (MNR). The objective of this research is to investigate the effect of the ratio of EFB /E-Glass fibers, ratio of hybrid fibers and matrix as well as the addition of MNR on tensile strength, flexural strength and water absorption of EFB/E-Glass epoxy hybrid composite. The highest tensile strength (77.254 MPa) was obtained in the composition of 40% EFB fiber, 60% matrix and 9% MNR. The highest flexural strength (147.446 MPa) was obtained in the composition of 33.18% EFB fiber, 50% matrix and 10% MNR. The lowest water absorption (4.46%) was obtained in the composition of 40% EFB fiber, 40% matrix and 11% MNR. The results show that the tensile strength increases with the addition of EGlass. While the addition of the matrix and MNR does not significantly affect tensile strength. Flexural strength increases with increasing number of E-Glass and matrix.
