Abstract

This research explores the potential of transforming waste materials from the giant tamarind processing industry into valuable charcoal briquettes. The study focuses on the waste generated by the Giant Tamarind Community Enterprise Group in Wang Nok Aen Subdistrict, Wang Thong District, Phitsanulok Province. The study found that a 1 : 0.05 : 0.5 ratio of peel/seed, cassava flour, and water is optimal for compressing blocks, as it allows for good shaping and shape retention. Charcoal briquettes produced from giant tamarind seeds were characterized using ASTM test standards for heat value (D3286), moisture content (D3173), ash content (D3174), and volatile matter content (D3175). The analysis revealed respective values of 6,468.14 cal/g, 0.09%, 5.04%, and 91.95%. In contrast, charcoal briquettes derived from giant tamarind peels, tested under the same ASTM standards, exhibited a heat value of 6,812.73 cal/g, moisture content of 0.05%, ash content of 6.19%, and volatile matter content of 84.33%. These findings, when compared against relevant standard values, demonstrate the viability of both tamarind peels and seeds as biomass fuel sources.
