| Popis: | Coconut shell, as a lignocellulosic material, has a great potential to be developed as a briquette for energy production. In this research, the aromatic briquette is obtained from a mixture of carbon and activated carbon from coconut shell waste using citronellal as an aromatic additive. A tremendous advantage can be gathered compared to the use of other briquettes. The methods used are carbonization and activation of coconut shell raw material followed by the production of briquette with carbon, activated carbon, adhesive, and aromatic addition. The activated carbon quality results meet all the requirements set by the Indonesian National Standard through a series of analysis procedures. Moreover, the briquette surface successfully adsorbs the citronellal aromatic group. The proximate analysis of briquette, consisting of moisture, ash content, volatile matter content, and fixed carbon, were 8-11%, 2-3%, 8-14.5, 82-87%, respectively. Meanwhile, the briquette's density, compressive strength, and calorific value were 0.7-0.8; 222-393 kg, and 6400- 6700 Kcal/kg. This green aromatic-functionalized briquette produced from a mixture of carbon and activated carbon offers an alternative energy source for a society that mainly gives an economic benefit |
