Abstract
Biomass development has been an essential issue for the past few decades and will remain attractive in the future because of its clean, renewable, carbon-neutral, and other advantages. The goals of this study are to obtain the effect of adding rubber leaf powder to the manufacture of binderless briquettes, especially on the quality of the bio-briquettes produced and the calorific value. Comparison of the composition of EFB to rubber leaf powder varied at 5:95%, 10: 90%, 15:85%, 20:80%, and 100% EFB fiber. The heating temperature is varied at 155⁰C, up to 195°C with a holding time of 20 minutes. At a mixture percentage of 95/5% (fiber/powder), it is a good composition when compared to other percentages. The test results showed that the heating temperature and the use of the composition of the EFB with rubber leaf powder had an effect on increasing the heating value, toughness, and duration of the briquette ignition.
