Abstract

The objective of this research is to create bricks that are composed of a blend of macadamia shell charcoal powder. The focus of the investigation is the ratio of fine rice husk, macadamia shell charcoal powder, and clay at 95-0-5, 90-5-5, 80-15-5, 70-25-5, 60-35-5, and 50-45-5, respectively. The research results suggest that the absorption of odors increases as the ratio of macadamia shell charcoal powder increases, with a range of 28.5 to 44.3 Milliliters per cubic meter. Variables 2–4 water absorption falls within the standard range of 11.0–16.1%, while variables 5 and 6 surpass the standard with values of 22.3 and 27.7%, respectively. The moisture absorption increases as the macadamia shell charcoal powder ratio increases, with a range of 0.42% to 1.53%. The standard is met by the compressive strength test results in variables 3 and 4, which are 30.6 and 33.1 kilograms/square centimeter, respectively. When analyzing the worthiness, it will be possible to increase the profit from the original approximately 12,700-37,700 baht/time. The satisfaction with knowledge transmission was assessed in nine different areas, resulting in an average satisfaction level of 4.45, a standard deviation of 0.39, and a high level of satisfaction.
