| Summary: | Physical characteristics of briquettes contain mixture of pulverized empty fruit bunch and polyethylene plastics (weight ratio 85:15) were investigated experimentally. The comparison was performed with briquettes that contain 100% pulverized EFB in terms of relaxed density and compressive strength. The briquettes were produced under various heating temperatures of 150oC, 170oC and 190oC. Meanwhile, the compression pressure was set constant at 7 MPa. The results indicate that the compressive strength of the briquettes contain mixture of pulverized EFB and polyethylene plastics is lower than that of the 100% pulverized EFB briquettes. However, the values of the compressive strength are still strong enough to resist mechanical disintegration. |
