The Production of Charcoal Briquettes from Waste Bamboo Shoots The Production of Charcoal Briquettes from Waste Bamboo Shoots

Abstract

The Bamboo shoots left over from the process of processing bamboo shoots, which is a waste problem for entrepreneurs in Lampang
Province. Therefore entrepreneurs want to
Province. Therefore entrepreneurs want to find a way to make use of the waste bamboo shoots. The objectives of this research were to: 1) to examine the rate of charcoal briquette production from bamboo shoot waste 2) to examine the maximum temperature of charcoal briquette production from bamboo shoot waste. Research methodology this was an experimental research mixture rate of charcoal briquette production from waste bamboo shoots. Together with charcoal powder tapioca starch and water. The charcoal extrusion process is then used by a conical screw compressor. And dry the charcoal sticks from the remnants of bamboo shoots after that the test was done by boiling water to boil. The results of the study were as follows : 1) the optimum ratio was 300 grams of bamboo shoots 2,500 grams of charcoal powder 500 grams of tapioca starch and 2,500 grams of water. 2) the maximum temperature is 70 C°, the maximum heating time is 80 minutes, including the burning time 135 minutes.
