Utilization of bus tree wood (Melaleuca sp) as environmentally friendly fuel for household industrial scale Aluminum smelting stoves in Merauke, Papua

The purpose of this study is the use bus wood trees as fuel for aluminum smelting home industry because it has a good heating value and very efficient, from laboratory test results, tree calorific 5981 (calories/g). methods used experimental analytical to get results which will certainly produce mechanical properties. obtained combustion process that releasing all heat contained in done with three control processes, including fairly high temperature ignite maintain flame fuel, turbulence or mixing O2 sufficient time complete process. (bus wood) inputted furnace designed so takes place more completely minimal losses. changes seem thermocouple crucible insulator material were resistance hence melting doesn't take longer 15 minutes. crucibles melted at 723℃.
