Abstract
Information on calorific value is very important factor in fuel evaluation. The objective of the study was to investigate the calorific values of the leaves of five (5) selected trees species of dipterocarp in Piah Forest Reserve, Perak, Malaysia. The species are Hopea sp., Shorea parvifolia, Shorea leprosula, Shorea macroptera and Dipterocarpus sp. The calorific values were determined using the Adiabatic Bomb Calorimeter. The difference of calorific value between the five species were also examined. It was found that, the mean calorific value for the dipterocarp species were within the range of 4041.28 Cal g-1 to 4820.78 Cal g-1. The leaves of the Shorea macroptera contain higher calorific value compared to other four species. The findings will be useful in the preparation of forest fire management plan, and also in the development of bioenergy project of wood-based biomass from forest species.
在燃料评价中,热值信息是非常重要的因素。本研究的目的是调查马来西亚霹雳州皮亚森林保护区五(5)种树的叶片热值。采用绝热弹量热计测定了其发热量,测定了不同发热量的植物种类,分别为胡柏属、细叶胡柏属、麻风胡柏属、大翅胡柏属和龙柏属。研究了五种植物的热值差异。结果表明,双翅果的平均发热量在4041.28 ~ 4820.78 Cal g-1之间。与其他四种植物相比,大翅目Shorea的叶子含有更高的热值。研究结果将有助于编制森林火灾管理计划,也有助于开发利用森林物种的木质生物质的生物能源项目。
