Powder processing Wood Charcoal Briquette Being

Wood powder processing Being Charcoal  Briquettes

During much of this waste wood dust cause problems in handling that has been left to rot, stacked and burned all of which have a negative impact on the environment so that countermeasures should be considered.

One way that can be taken is to use value-added products with applied technology and democracy so that the results are easily disseminated to the public.

Processing waste to a waste-to-product raw materials or new products that have economic value. In management, waste-to-product should apply the principles of:

• Reduce; Reduce means to reduce. In this case, it is expected that we can reduce the use of wood materials which can increase the amount of waste sawdust, and can reduce and prevent damage to forests from illegal logging regardless of environmental conditions.
• Reuse; Reuse means reuse. In sewage treatment sawdust, the intention is to use sawdust back into raw materials for  making briquettes  charcoal  economically valuable.
• Recycle; Recycle means to recycle. In sewage treatment sawdust, the intention is to recycle sawdust into new products, namely  briquette  charcoal .
• Can reduce costs; As already known, there is currently a crisis of fuel energy. Currently kerosene has been scarce, and LPG gas prices soaring. Many small people who feel overwhelmed by the increase in the price of LPG gas. With the  briquette  charcoal, is expected to be resolved and it is able to help the little people. Waste sawdust into  charcoal briquettes  is very easy and cost of production was little, since the raw material derived from waste that can easily be obtained everywhere. In addition, sewage treatment can also improve people's income when the manufacture of  charcoal briquettes  is well managed for the next  charcoal briquettes  for sale. Materials charcoal briquettes are easily available around us floured sawn timber.
• Being able to save energy; Waste sawdust into briquettes charcoal proven to save energy.In 1990 stood  factory  charcoal briquettes without adhesives in West Java and East Java, which uses sawdust wood as the main raw material. The quality of charcoal briquettes produced has a calorific value of less than 7000 cal / g is equal to 6341 cal / g and a carbon content of 74.35% dependent. However, studies conducted in West Java indicate that plant with a capacity of charcoal briquette charcoal briquette 260 kg / day can be beneficial. In supermarkets can now be bought charcoal from wood with the selling price of Rp 12,000 / 2.5 kg. If the charcoal briquettes from sawdust can be used as an alternative energy source either as a substitute for kerosene and firewood will be able to be saved as much as 3.5 million tons of CO2 to  Indonesia , while for the world because of the need of firewood and charcoal for 2000 is estimated at 1 , 70 x 109 m3 (Moreira (1997), the amount of CO2 that can be prevented release as much as 6.07 x 109 tonnes of CO2 / year.
• Eco-efficiency; Eco-efficiency here means sawdust waste treatment is expected to impact positively on the environment. With the use of charcoal as fuel then we can save the use of wood as the main outcome of the forest. Besides utilizing sawdust as a charcoal briquettes will increase waste utilization of forest products while reducing air pollution, as currently existing wood sawdust just burned away.

For additional information, here is a way of making charcoal briquettes from waste sawdust.
1. Equipment:

•     Sieve mesh size of 50 passes and 70 mesh
•     Mold briquettes
•     Oven.

2. Material:

•     Sawdust
•     Coconut Tempurang
•     Lem kanji

3. Stages of manufacture:

• Authoring. Sawdust and  coconut shell  charcoal and charcoal made ​​manual (burned).
• Sieving. Sieving intent to produce charcoal sawdust and  coconut shell  is soft and smooth.Sawdust charcoal sieved with 50 mesh sieve size breakouts and charcoal coconut shell  with a size of 70 mesh.
• Mixing media. Charcoal sawdust and coconut shell that has been filtered then mixed with sawdust charcoal ratio of 90% and 10% coconut shell charcoal. At the time of mixing coupled with starch glue as much as 2.5% of the entire mixture of charcoal sawdust and coconut shell.
• Charcoal Briquette printing. After the ingredients are mixed evenly, then put into molds and pressed briquettes
