Abstract

Agroindustry residues can be utilized as a resource for alternative energy sources such as bio-briquettes. Using agro-industry residue is also a solution to reduce pollution caused by biomass waste in the environment. This article highlights the combustion quality analysis of biomass waste in the form of bio-briquettes with binding materials prepared from tapioca flour. The biomass used is a mixture of coconut shell charcoal and coal to improve the quality of the bio-briquettes. In this study, bio-briquettes were manufactured using a screw press system. The combustion quality of bio-briquettes with various percentage compositions (0:100, 25:75, 50:50, 75:25, 100:0) of coconut shell charcoal and coal was investigated, i.e., moisture content, ash content, combustion rate, and calorific value. Results show that the calorific value of most bio-briquettes produced in this study was higher than the standard calorific value according to  SNI Standard No.1/6235/2000 (≥ 5,000 cal/gr). The optimum composition to produce bio-briquette with good quality based on the standard is 75:25 (coconut shell charcoal: coal), which had a moisture content of 7.6325%, ash content of 6.9697%, combustion rate of 0.1833 gr/min, and caloric value of 5833.78 cal/gr.

Abstract

Plastic and biomass waste disposal will increase if it is not accompanied by appropriate, efficient, and effective waste treatment. Recent research on the yield of charcoal produced by co-pyrolysis has shown that the product of co-pyrolysis of plastic and biomass raw materials is a beneficial additive with a variety of applications, ranging from soil and water improvement, increasing agricultural yields, fuel cells, supercapacitors, as a support/ catalysts, sustainable chemistry, and carbon sequestration. Therefore researchers need to ensure the quality of the results of co-pyrolysis in the form of biochar obtained from any raw material and process to provide maximum benefits, mainly from biomass and plastic raw materials. This study aims to review the formation of biochar from the co-pyrolysis of plastic and biomass raw materials by examining the raw materials, pyrolysis techniques, and the type of reactor used to identify the appropriate parameters. This review discusses biochar production techniques, pyrolysis technology mechanisms, types of pyrolysis, the type of reactor used, the properties of both biomass and plastic raw materials and the properties of biochar produced from various raw materials for comparison. Biochar will be obtained with maximum yield quality from the results of mixing the raw materials for biomass and plastic and optimal operating conditions. It can be an alternative in the bio-oil and syngas energy sector and reduce carbon emissions.
