Abstract

The yield of oil palm fronds is 8.4 tons/ha/year [1], a huge potential that has not been used optimally. Particle Cement Board (PCB) is a biocomposite that uses inorganic adhesive, namely cement, to bind biomass particles into a board. Wood Plastic Composite (WPC) is a biocomposite that combines plastic and biomass particles molded into boards. This study used the same biomass particles—oil palm fronds—to analyze the properties of PCBs and WPCs. Characteristics assessment by measuring and testing physical and mechanical properties were density, moisture content, water absorption, thickness swelling, elasticity (MOE and MOR), and internal bond strength (IBS) of oil palm fronds PCB (refers and compared to JIS A 5417-1992 and SNI 8299-2017 standards) and WPC (refers and compared to JIS A 5908-2003 and SNI 03-2105-2006 standards). The test results on the PCB are density 1.143 g/cm3, moisture content 8.429%, water absorption 26.414%, thickness swelling 1.368%, MoE 188.899 N/mm2, MoR 5.765 N/mm2, and IBS 0.054 N/mm2. The test results on the WPC are density 0.84 g/cm3, moisture content 2.36%, water absorption 16.21%, thickness swelling 7.11%, MoE 590.87 N/mm2, MoR 13.40 N/mm2, and IBS 0.31 N/mm2. Oil palm fronds is quite well used as a raw material for making particle cement board (PCB) and Wood Plastic Composite (WPC)

Abstract

This study used cassava stem charcoal and charcoal from forest fires mixed with tapioca adhesive at different ratios, the aim was to analyze the effect of different adhesive ratios on the quality of charcoal briquettes.Charcoal briquettes are formed using a 40 bar press machine with a pressing time of 10 minutes. The mixture of charcoal briquette raw materials uses a tapioca adhesive ratio of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8% and 10%.Testing is carried out to determine the quality, then analyzed and compared with the SNI 01-6235-2000 standard.The effect of adhesive ratio on adhesive quality was analyzed using a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). The test results show the following values:density 0.54 g/cm3, moisture content 4.97%, compressive strength 28.43 kg/cm2, volatile matter content 36.02%, ash content 6.36%, fixed carbon content 56.45% and calorific value 6,195 cal/gobtained from a 10% adhesive ratio. The adhesive ratio has a very significant effect on the water content, compressive strength and calorific value; has a significant effect on the density value; and has no significant effect on the volatile matter value, ash content and bound carbon content.The results of charcoal briquette testing mostly meet the standards according to SNI (No. 01-6235-2000)
