Abstract

Onion leaves can be seen lying as a waste which also littered houses, markets, walk ways, and gardens of the study area. Briquetting of onion leaves is relatively new. The effect of a binder on the physical properties of onion leaves briquettes using two different binders of Cassava Starch and Tree Gum was studied. Three of each sample was produced with a different binder to briquettes ratio of 90:10, 85:15, and 80:20 using a manual press briquetting machine. The result of a water resistance measurement shows that all the sample of briquettes produced can resist water for more than 3 minutes, the result of compressed density, dimensional stability, relaxation ratio shows that samples binded with tree gum has the highest value compare to the samples binded with cassava starch. Based on the results obtained, it can be concluded that the briquette from onion leaves with cassava starch as binders can be used as a substitute for biogas.

木薯淀粉和树胶粘结剂对洋葱叶成型物性的影响

洋葱叶可以被看作是一种废物，它也散落在房屋、市场、人行道和研究区域的花园中。洋葱叶的压块是相对较新的。以木薯淀粉和树胶为粘结剂，研究了粘结剂对洋葱叶型煤物理性能的影响。使用手动压块机，用不同的粘结剂与压块的比例分别为90:10、85:15和80:20，生产了每种样品的三个。抗水性能测试结果表明，所制成型块的抗水时间均在3分钟以上，压缩密度、尺寸稳定性、松弛比的结果表明，与树胶结合的样品比与木薯淀粉结合的样品具有最高的值。结果表明，以木薯淀粉为粘结剂的洋葱叶型煤可以作为沼气的替代品。

期刊介绍： International Review of Applied Sciences and Engineering is a peer reviewed journal. It offers a comprehensive range of articles on all aspects of engineering and applied sciences. It provides an international and interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas between engineers, researchers and scholars within the academy and industry. It covers a wide range of application areas including architecture, building services and energetics, civil engineering, electrical engineering and mechatronics, environmental engineering, mechanical engineering, material sciences, applied informatics and management sciences. The aim of the Journal is to provide a location for reporting original research results having international focus with multidisciplinary content. The published papers provide solely new basic information for designers, scholars and developers working in the mentioned fields. The papers reflect the broad categories of interest in: optimisation, simulation, modelling, control techniques, monitoring, and development of new analysis methods, equipment and system conception.
