Abstract
Briquettes are one of the alternative fuels that at the same time can be one solution in overcoming waste. In this study, the manufacture of bone waste briquettes and briquettes mixed with vegetable waste and bone waste as a solution to deal with domestic waste problems. The quality of briquettes is evaluated by comparing the length of initial ignition and the duration of briquettes made with coconut shell briquettes that have been widely sold in the market. The initial ignition time of vegetable waste and bone waste mixture briquettes is 1.49 minutes better when compared to bone-based briquettes. The timing showed results that did not differ significantly from the initial length of time on coconut shell-based briquettes. The 139.44-minute briquette mixture of vegetable waste and bone waste showed better effectiveness than coconut shells on the market.
