Abstract
Coconut shell, a solid waste product from the processing of coconut meat for milk, is the focus of this study. Coconut shells are generally used for fuel, household purposes, or souvenirs. The design of this coconut shell charcoal-making machine is made from a used steel drum with a tube inside that comes from a used steel can. The pyrolysis method used in this study involves processing coconut shell charcoal in a way that does not come into direct contact with oxygen. This treatment is expected that the coconut shell charcoal produced has low water and ash content. The pyrolysis process lasts 2 hours with the average temperature in the combustion furnace at 417 0C. In this study, 7 kg of raw material was tested, and after a 2-hour pyrolysis process, 5 kg of coconut shell charcoal was produced by using 26.000 kcal.
