Abstract

The kinetic reaction of alkaline hydrolysis of candlenut shells to produce oxalic acid was investigated. It was performed for the non-catalyzed solid-liquid heterogeneous reaction in a range time of 30 to 90 minutes and temperature of 60oC to 90oC. This study showed that the reaction fitted the pseudo-first-order model, confirmed from the determinant coefficient value of 0.9182 to 0.9751, and the kinetic constant, evaluated using Arrhenius' law, was k= 0.034751 e^(-140.23⁄T). The rate control mechanism based on the shrinking core model was diffusion control, validated from determinant coefficient near one, from 0.9246 to 0.9766.

Abstract

The government has taken energy deflation seriously and is trying to find solutions by implementing energy efficiency and utilizing renewable energy sources. That action also supports the procedure to save the world from the ongoing climate crisis. One of Indonesia’s potential renewable energy sources is biomass, which can be in the form of plantation waste such as teak branches. Based on the analysis results, charcoal made from teak branches had a carbon content about 62.5968%, so it was pretty potential to be used as raw material for bio-briquettes. In this research, bio-briquette from teak branches' charcoal using tapioca binder has been successfully carried out. The manufacture of bio-briquettes was studied by observing the effect of the size parameters of teak charcoal and binder ratio on the heating value and water content of briquettes. The analysis results showed that these two parameters significantly affected the quality of teak branches' bio-briquette. In the ranking, the particle size was much more significant in influencing the calorific value of bio-briquettes, while the binder ratio had more influence on the water content value. The obtained bio-briquettes' calorific value and water content have met the established standards.
