Abstract

This study investigates the effects of adding 30 wt.% aluminum silicate and varying sintering temperatures on the density and hardness of vitrified fly ash glass ceramics. Fly ash, a waste by product from coal combustion at the Suralaya thermal power plant has long posed environmental challenges. To mitigate these impacts, this research explores its utilization in producing glass ceramics. The samples were prepared as cylindrical samples with a diameter of 15 mm and thickness of 5 mm, and were fabricated using uniaxial pressing at 120 MPa. The samples were sintered at 1050, 1100, and 1150 °C with a heating rate of 5 °C/min. Experimental results reveal that adding 30 wt.% AS significantly improves the density from 2.31 to 2.51 g/cm³ and hardness from 443 to 2418.55 MPa compared to 100 wt.% fly ash. Optimal density and hardness were achieved at a sintering temperature of 1150 °C.

Abstract

In the future, world energy will be threatened by the increasing difficulty of finding energy sources from fossils. Experts argue that with current consumption patterns, fossil energy is expected to run out soon. Petroleum will run out in 30 years in 2052,.This study aims to determine the performance of briquettes from coffee grounds waste mixed with EFB (Empty Fruit Bunch) fiber and glued using hibiscus rona-sinesis flower extract as a natural adhesive. Variations in the ratio of coffee husk and EFB mixture (9:1, 8:2 7:3) were used to test the physical and chemical characteristics of briquettes, including density, water content, volatile matter, fixed carbon, calorific value, and ash content, which were compared with Indonesian national standards (SNI 01-6235-2000). The results showed that increasing the proportion of coffee grounds increased the calorific value of the briquettes, but the fixed carbon and volatile matter values did not meet the established standards. Other parameters such as water and ash content had met the national standards. The average density of briquettes ranges from 0.39–0.40 g/cm³, with a mixture ratio of 9:1 producing the highest calorific value, which is 4,625 cal/gram.Keywords  : Briquettes, Biomass, Calorific value, Hibiscus extract, Coffee grounds, Empty Fruit Bunch (EFB)
