Karakteristik Penyalaan Briket Limbah Serbuk Arang Tempurung Kelapa Dengan Bahan Pemantik Abu Kelapa (Cocodust)

Characteristic of ignition briquettes waste coconut shell charcoal with cocodust lighter material. The purpose of this research is to know the characteristic and the lighting characteristic of coconut shell charcoal briquettes waste and cocodust so that the briquette product obtained is easily ignited by using lighter material or start-up. This research method is arranged in experiment of making briquettes and data analyzed and also descriptively. The experiment was conducted by making briquettes using 5 % starch adhesive material to charcoal coconut charcoal waste and cocodust with fineness of 10 mesh with cocodust 50 g, with treatment consisting of: A1=50 g coconut shell charcoal waste plus 50 g cocodust; A2=100 g coconut shell charcoal waste plus 50 g cocodust; A3=150 g coconut shell charcoal waste plus 50 g cocodust and A4=200 g of shell charcoal waste of 50 g coconut plus 50 g cocodust, repeated 3 times. Result of charcoal charcoal combustion analysis with parameters: duration of ignition up to ash 141,18-146,14 minutes; Duration of initial ignition until fire arises 0,17-0,30 minutes and smoke generated/smoke loss 18,18-25,18 minutes. For boiling water using charcoal briquettes charcoal waste briquettes waste coconut time 30.15-35.16 minutes using charcoal briquettes as much as 100 g. Charcoal briquette charcoal waste coconut shell charcoal parameters: moisture content 6,63-6,95 %, ash 4,49-4,80 %; The missing part at heating temperature 950 ° C from 3.05 to 5.59 % and the calorific value of 4,608-5,221 cal/g. The result of the analysis showed that the best treatment was obtained at treatment A2; A3 and A4 because all parameters meet quality requirements, when compared with SNI charcoal briquette SNI 01-6235-2000
