Abstract

This study explores the thermomechanical characteristics of coconut shell waste charcoal briquettes with the addition of clay as a binding material. The utilization of coconut shell waste (CSW) as a renewable energy source has gained attention due to its abundance and potential environmental benefits. However, enhancing the mechanical properties of coconut shell waste charcoal briquettes remains a challenge. In this research, various proportions of soil were incorporated into the briquettes to investigate their impact on thermomechanical properties. Through comprehensive experimentation and analysis, the thermal stability, compressive strength, and combustion behaviour of the briquettes were evaluated. The findings that adding 7% of clay into CSW briquettes enhanced the activation energy and combustion index. Moreover, the optimal combustion efficiency was achieved with the addition of 5% clay.
