Abstract
Charcoal briquettes can be an alternative energy and can be produced from Gerunggang and Tumih types of wood. These two types of wood are commonly found in Kalampangan Village as pioneer plants on burned peatlands. The research objective was to determine the chemical properties of charcoal briquettes produced from biomass waste from land processing without burning with several compositions of Gerunggang wood and Tumih wood. The chemical properties of charcoal briquettes refer to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-6235-2000) and Standard Permen ESDM No. 047 of 2006. The results showed that all composition treatments in the ash content test, fixed carbon content and calorific value met the standards, while the test for volatile content in all treatment compositions did not meet the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-6235-2000). The composition of the most potential chemical properties and following the two standards used is the composition of 100% Tumih with ash content of 7.67%, volatile matter content of 27.23%, fixed carbon of 55.00%, and heating value of 5902.18 cal/g.
Highlights
The problem that occurs in Central Kalimantan during the long dry season is forest and land fires
Tumih trees function more as a pioneer that is most resistant to inundation and can grow in nonperiodic inundated areas Gerunggang and Tumih overgrown peatlands such as in Kalampangan Village are widely used for farming and gardening
The research objective was to determine the quality of charcoal briquettes' chemical properties produced from biomass waste in land cultivation without burning, which is divided into 5 compositions of Gerunggang and Tumih charcoal powder which refers to both standards. namely the standard standard Permen ESDM No 047 of 2006 concerning guidelines for the manufacture and utilization of coal briquettes and coal-based solid fuels and charcoal briquettes standards, namely the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 01-6235-2000)
Summary
The problem that occurs in Central Kalimantan during the long dry season is forest and land fires. Based on the above problems, research activities were carried out by utilizing Gerunggang and Tumih biomass waste to support government programs in Non-Burning Land Management by utilizing this waste as raw material for making charcoal briquettes with raw materials from unused tree organs such as leaves. The research objective was to determine the quality of charcoal briquettes' chemical properties produced from biomass waste in land cultivation without burning, which is divided into 5 compositions of Gerunggang and Tumih charcoal powder which refers to both standards. Benefits Research can provide information to the community about the utilization of biomass that is not utilized in processing activities Unburned land becomes the raw material for making charcoal briquettes which have economic value as a renewable energy fuel for the community
