Abstract:

Livestock manure is one of the sources of biomass whose usage has yet to be improved. Cow manure can be utilized as a raw material for producing briquettes, serving as an alternative energy source. This alternative fuel has advantages in terms of the production process and the simplicity of raw material usage. The goal of this study was to examine the influence of temperature variations on the features of briquettes made from cow dung. Briquettes are made in three steps: raw material preparation, molding, and carbonization via pyrolysis. For one hour, pyrolysis was carried out at temperatures ranging from 350°C to 500°C. Briquettes’ quality is decided once they have been tested. The yield value of the briquette produced ranges between 31.70% and 40.08%, with an average of 38.91%. The results indicate that the density ranges from 0.851 to 0.903 g/cm³, the moisture content ranges from 0.58% to 1.29%, and the heating value ranges from 4546.9 to 5108.5 kcal/kg. According to the findings of the drop test, none of the samples broke. The best pyrolysis briquette from cow manure is at a temperature of 500°C with a yield of 31.71%, a moisture content of 0.58%, a density of 0.903 grams/cm3, and a heating value of 5108.5 kcal/kg.
