Fabrication and Characterization of Charcoal Briquettes Fuel from a Blend of Coconut Husk and Corncob

Energy is very essential to human livelihood and makes significant help economic, social, environmental features of development. Biomass certainly a source renewable energy worldwide abundant with high potential. This research aimed characterize produce briquette fuel from the combination coconut husk corncob using starch as binder. The composite briquettes were produced by varying mixture ratio (CH: CC), 80:20, 60:40, 50:50, 40:60, 20:80 binding agent. physical combustion characteristics analyzed according America Society Testing Materials Standard. It was observed that moisture content decreased 5.02% 4.88%, fixed carbon increased 74.20% 75.13%, volatile matter 20.20% 21.70%, Ash 5.60% 3.17% calorific value 20.35 MJ/kg 26.75 MJ/kg. findings also show maximum density durability indexes 839 kg/m3 98.58%.
 at has highest implies it more heating advantages will therefore be suitable an alternative solid fuel.
