Abstract :
Briquettes are solid fuels as an alternative energy source in place of fuel oil and
comes from the rest of the remaining organic matter that has undergone a
compression process with certain compressive power. Briquettes are hereby from
the process of pyrolysis which is a thermal process with conditions such as the
presence of oxygen. The raw materials used in this study are in the form of
cinnamon bark exclamationwaste. Bahan is used because of the lack of utilization
of this shaving waste in the industrial world. The purpose of this study was to
determine the characteristics of cinnamon bark shaving waste briquettes by using
adhesive materials derived from molasses or sugarcane drops.. Comparison between
the composition of cinnamon bark shaving charcoal powder and silverware 95%:
5%, 90%: 10%, 85%: 15%. The process of making briquettes by pyrolysis of raw
materials, refining of raw materials, and printing. The results of this study were
obtained by the Indonesian National Standard Cinnamon Bark shaving briquette (SNI
1999-2000). The best composition is briquettes with SKM3 composition where a
composition comparison is made of 85%% of cinnamon bark shaving waste and 15%
% molasses adhesive. Briquettes with the composition of SKM3 have a density
value of 0.6667 gr /cm3,the combustion, rate of 0.021 gr / s,drop test of 0.143.
Keywords:briquettes, cinnamon bark shaving waste,, molasses.
