Abstract

Eco-friendly alternative fuels encourage the use of waste biomass as a material for making briquettes. This study aimed to develop briquettes from rice husk biomass and peat moss and add spent leaching earth (SBE). SBE is a hazardous and toxic waste increasingly piling up in landfills. The research method involved carbonizing rice husks and peat moss, mixing them with SBE, molding with a 200 kg/cm2 Hydraulic Press, and drying. The resulting briquettes had an average water content of 5.86% and an ash content of 2.18%, which meet the SNI No. 01/6235/2000 standard. Morphological analysis revealed that the briquettes were round but exhibited non-homogeneous aggregation. The highest calorific value was found in C4 briquettes of 5030.17 cal/gr. The composition of C4 was 40% rice husk charcoal (4.8 g), 45% peat (5.4 g), and 15% SBE (1.8 g), with SBE dried for seven days. The addition of peat increased the calorific value of the briquettes. Based on scanning electron microscopy (SEM)/ energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, the carbon content in the C4 briquettes reached 72.2%. This study shows that the combination of rice husk charcoal, SBE, and peat provides a renewable energy source and contributes to the reduction of environmental waste, thereby promoting sustainability.

Abstract

The amount of environmental pollution is in line with the increasing of industry. Industry can generate waste in the form of solid, liquid or gas. Utilization of waste as an adsorbent is a solution that can be done in dealing with waste such as metal waste contained in water. Therefore, this research aims to make a bio-adsorbent in the form of silica from rice husk ash and boiler fly ash and know the comparison of the Pb absorbed. The research method used is an experimental method by synthesizing the manufacture of silica. Then testing of Pb based on contact time was 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 90 minutes and 120 minutes. The results showed that the two silica-based bio-adsorbents could adsorb Pb. Bio-adsorbent from rice husk ash absorbed 56.51% of Pb in 30 minutes, 52.93% in 60 minutes, 48.65% in 90 minutes and 43.55% in 120 minutes. The bio-adsorbent from the fly ash boiler absorbed 50.15% of Pb in 30 minutes, 44.28% in 60 minutes, 38.48% in 90 minutes and 36.45% in 120 minutes. Bio-adsorbent from rice husk ash absorbs more Pb ions than from boiler fly ash. Because the silica in the rice husk ash forms a collection in the pores, whereas in the fly ash boiler there is silica that is spread out. This research can be a basis for further research in the form of dye bio-adsorbent products based on their short use time.
