KUALITAS BRIKET ARANG DARI BAHAN BAKU CANGKANG KEMIRI (Auleoretes Moluccana) DAN LIMBAH GERGAJIAN KAYU PALAPI (Heritiera Javanica)

The composition of the mixture of palapi sawdust and candlenut shell charcoal gave a significant effect on the ash content, volatile matter content and the density of charcoal briquettes. The purpose of this study was to determine the quality of the raw material for charcoal briquettes from hazelnut shell and Palapi sawn wood waste from various treatments of the mixture starch. This research was carried out from March to April 2020. The process of making charcoal at BTN Lasoani and making charcoal briquettes took place at the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, Tadulako University, while the testing took place at the Nutrition and Feed Laboratory, Faculty of Animal Husbandry, Tadulako University. The results of this study The average value of charcoal briquette testing from various treatments, namely: Water content 1.8% - 7.9%, ash content 1.36% - 4.69%, bound carbon content 80.62% -85.14% , volatile matter content 6.80% - 10.57%, density 0.59% - 1.16%, and a heating value of 1569.02 cal / g - 2070.81 cal/g.
