PROSES PEMBUATAN ARANG BATOK KELAPA DAN TULANG SAPI MENGGUNAKAN METODE PIROLISIS SEBAGAI MEDIA CARBURIZING

Abstract

Fueled by a rise in food needs as beef and oil into basic commodities has been consumed by the
public, has lead the increasing of waste the cows and coconut shell. The main ingredient used in this
research is a waste product from cow bones and from the remains of the coconut shells from which no or
household wastes, that can be processed into charcoal. The purpose of this research which is to enhance
economic value of waste from cow bones and coconut shells using combustion pyrolysis system being
charred (fixed carbon) to produce good quality charcoal, to find out the extent of the temperature used and
the composition of charcoal. The process used in this research is pack carburizing with cow bones and
coconut shell as the media at the temperature 950
o
C, time detention three hours with variations composition
charcoal. It can be concluded that charcoal bone across his cattle and charcoal coconut can be used as a
source of carbon that might improve the force and hardness in the material carbon steel low (low carbon
steel). The process of pack carburizing can increase the value of % C, against low carbon steel material.
