Charcoal Briquette Production Process From Rubber Plantation Waste And Transfer Via Infographic Technology

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to produce and test the thermal efficiency of charcoal briquettes made from waste from rubber plantations. and analyzing, designing, and transferring the production process of charcoal briquettes through infographic technology. In the production of charcoal briquettes, scraps of rubber tree branches are used. and rubber seed shells by using oily flour as a binder. Bring rubber tree branches and rubber seeds to dry in the sun. Then burn until charcoal and grind thoroughly. Mixed with tapioca starch and water, all 3 formulas are formula 1, rubber tree branches: tapioca starch: water  in a ratio of 2 kg: 250 g: 1,400 ml, formula 2 rubber seed husks: tapioca starch: water in a ratio of 2 kg: 250 g :1,000 ml, and formula 3, rubber tree branches :Rubber seed husk: tapioca starch: water in the ratio of 1 kg: 1 kg: 250 g: 1,200 ml, respectively, then extruded. Bring the charcoal to dry in the sun. and testing for various thermal properties, namely calorific value, moisture content, ash content, average combustion temperature and burning time. The test results showed that Formula 1 had a calorific value of 6,853.21 kcal/kg, a moisture content of 4.804%, an ash content of 26.250%, an average burning temperature of 250.63, and an average burning time of 160 minutes. Formula 2 had Calorific value 8,127.21 kcal/kg, moisture content 4.370%, ash content 26.250%, average combustion temperature 270.2, and average combustion time 180 minutes. Formula 3, heat value 7,657.40 kcal/kg, moisture content. 4. 485% with ash content of 26.641%, average burning temperature of 258 and average burning time of 180 minutes. It can be seen that Formula 2 has the best thermal efficiency from all 3 ratios produced. Complies with community product standards (MCU 238/2547) in every aspect can be used to cook well No crackling, good flammability, little soot and smoke. After that, the researcher designs knowledge transfer through infographic technology. To those who are interested can browse and browse in the form of multimedia media. The media efficiency was evaluated by 5 experts, divided into 1 person for content, 2 for media design, and 2 for media presentation. It was found that the total media efficiency evaluation was at the highest level in all aspects. 4.93 and take the media to evaluate satisfaction by 30 interested people. It appears that the total satisfaction assessment of users averages 4.48.
