Daftar Isi:
- The quality of liquid smoke and charcoal product yield can be improved by conducting pyrolysis process through indirect heating process. However, a great huge of energy is required to reach the exact operating temperature. In this experiment, slow pyrolysis of coconut shell is performed for liquid smoke and charcoal production using indirect method where the feedstock is just heated in a tube by using LPG as the heat source. The effect of feedstock size and the operating temperature on the liquid smoke and charcoal yields are investigated by varying the coconut shell sizes in the ranges of 1 to 7 cm2, while the operating temperature is expected as low as possible to reduce the energy required. The optimum process conditions for maximizing the two products yields and quality were also identified to meet the user requirement. The various characteristics of liquid smoke obtained under the optimum conditions for maximum yield are identified based on standard test methods. Data from a simple way of charcoal and liquid smoke production during preliminary research of this study indicated that the coconut shell sizes, and the operating temperatures are the crucial parameter during process.
