Charcoal briquettes, coconut shell charcoal, Kaffir lime peel powderAbstract
The objective of this research is to develop a briquette charcoal from coconut shell with dried bergamot skin that can repel mosquitoes. By finding the combustion efficiency of charcoal briquettes and the mosquito repelling efficiency in various ratios as follows: ratio 1 (1000: 60), ratio 2 (1000: 200: 100) and ratio 3 (1000: 500: 100). (Coconut shell charcoal: dry bergamot skin powder: Cassava flour) After that, the researchers took the charcoal briquette from the coconut shell charcoal with the dried kaffir lime in all 3 ratios to test the combustion efficiency and mosquito repellent efficiency . The calorific value increases, the 3rd ratio is the ratio with the best calorific value of 348.6681 KJ / kg. The 1st ratio : minimum moisture content is 5.9081%, which causes a small amount of ash. And the 2nd ratio : best density at 882.72 Kg / m3. The average combustion rate is 3.05 grams per minute. It can be used to cook well. No cracking Very flammable. In addition, the efficiency of mosquito repellent from charcoal from coconut shell with dry bergamot skin. The best repellent ratio was the 3rd ratio. It took 10 minutes for every mosquito to fall to the ground.
