Abstract

This experiment focuses on the production of hydrogen gas (H2) using the electrolysis method. The electrolysis method converts water (H2O) into the combustible compound H2 and O2, which aids in the combustion process. Hydrogen gas (H2) is an important renewable energy source. Therefore, research is needed to explore and optimize alternative and renewable energy sources, one of which is hydrogen gas. The objective of this experiment was to find the optimal variation between stainless steel and copper in producing the highest hydrogen gas pressure. In this experiment, a power source of 12 V 20 A was used, along with a salt solution of 1500 mL with a concentration of 0.167 gr/mL. Two different types of cathodes were used, stainless steel and copper. The experiment involved variations in the number of plates, namely 3, 5, and 7, and testing durations of 5, 10, and 15 minutes. The test results indicated that the hydrogen gas pressure increased with the increasing number of plates and electrolysis time. The highest pressure was achieved using copper plates with 7 plates and an electrolysis time of 15 minutes. Under these conditions, the hydrogen gas pressure reached 439.677 Pa

Abstract

Indonesia is reducing reliance on fossil fuels by expanding renewable energy, including biomass from rubber-plantation residues and acacia wood. This study evaluates briquettes made from rubber seed shell (RSS) and acacia sawdust (AWS) using 10% tapioca binder, a compaction pressure of 50 kgf cm⁻², and drying at 100 °C for 3 h. Three compositions (RSS:AWS, %wt) were tested: A (50:50), B (70:30), and C (80:20). The best performance was obtained for C (80:20), with moisture 7.40%, volatile matter 9.56%, ash 4.47%, fixed carbon 85.95%, HHV 6,716.88 cal g⁻¹ (28.10 MJ kg⁻¹), and burn rate 0.10 g min⁻¹. All compositions satisfied SNI 01-6235-2000 limits for HHV (≥ 5,000 cal g⁻¹), VM (≤ 15%), and ash (≤ 8%); the moisture criterion (≤ 8%) was met by B and C. For context, SNI 1683:2021 (wood charcoal, not briquettes) imposes stricter thresholds; under these, C is closest to First-Quality ranges, while A and B fall short for several parameters. Overall, increasing the RSS (char) fraction produced briquettes with lower moisture and VM, higher fixed carbon and HHV, and steadier combustion suitable for household fuel.
