Utilization of Waste Sawdust Mango Wood for Fuel Briquettes as Alternative Energy Sources

In present work, briquettes are produced from waste sawdust mango wood.Briquettes have a sized cube shape 5x5x5 cm. The purpose of this research is to know the quality of sawn mango waste briquette waste composed of particle of 10 mesh, 20 mesh, 30 mesh and 3% adhesive variation, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%. based on SNI Standard (Standar Nasional Indonesia) Wood Charcoal Quality Standard No.1 / 6235/2000.The result of the research based on the variation of particle size of briquette making agent of sawn timber waste briquette, showed optimal result according to SNI Standard, on briquettes composed of 30 mesh particle size, water content 2.04%, ash content 6.65%, heating value 6135.35 cal / g. While based on adhesive variation showed optimal results on briquettes composed of 30 mesh particle size with 6% adhesive, which resulted in water content 2.07%, ash content 7.52%, heat value 6198.41 cal / g, was in accordance with SNI Standard.
