Abstract

Briquette was a product of the compaction process of biomass residue used as fuel and it is formed using binder. Briquette from biomass has a high heating value. The quality of briquettes influenced by raw material composition and the time of carbonization. The carbonization process in the manufacture of briquettes could improve heating value and reduce smoke produced from burning briquette. This research is aim to study the effect of variations in the composition of raw materials and carbonization time on the heating value and the characteristics of the resulting briquettes. The materials used are palm fronds, palm shells, starch, used oil, H2SO4 and Tri Ethyl Amine (TEA). The ratios of palm frond and palm shell charcoal in this research is 1: 2, 1: 4, 1: 6 and 1: 8 with variation of carbonization time 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes. The research began with the carbonization process of the raw materials. Then charcoal product of carbonization was pressed using an binder starch and used oil as much as 20% based on the weight of raw materials at the ratio of 1: 1. The best quality from this research is obtained at the ratio palm fronds and oil palm shell 1: 8 with carbonization time of 120 minutes, heating value 15107,138 cal/g, moisture content 6%, ash content of 5,185%, volatile matter 39,226%, fixed carbon 70,955%, density 0,442 g/cm3, burning rate 0,273 g/min, and compressive strength 0,046 N / mm2. The result shows the briquettes produced had a strong structure, it was not easily broken and it was not moldy when stored.

Abstract

Research about the application of modified bentonite as filler in epoxy has been done for the purpose of getting the best composition of modified bentonite as filler at epoxy composite to obtain the best mechanical properties such as tensile strength, impact strength and the water absorption. In this research, epoxy resin mixed with bentonite which have been modified using cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant with various concentrations of 0,05M, 0,1M, and 0,15M. Modified bentonite filler and TiO2 then mixed with epoxy resin with various concentration of 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% of filler from the total mass of the composite and then the composite was produced with hand lay-up method. The result of FTIR characterization showed that the bond between matrix and the filler produced was only interfacial bonding. The result of the mechanical properties test indicated that 5% of filler composition with 0,1M of surfactant concentration obtained the maximum value of tensile strength and mechanical strength respectively 33,667 MPa and 12564,9 J/m2. The result of mechanical properties test was supported by analysis of Scaning Electron Microscopy (SEM).
