The reuse and recycle of rice husk waste help to reduce huge volumes of rice husk from milling industries and solve environmental challenges. In this study, the best mix ratio of rice husk briquette mixed with cassava starch for optimum heat generation was determined. It also determined the effect of clay paste on the heat generation property of the rice husk briquette. Rice husk briquettes with 0.15 – 0.20 cm/s flame propagation and density of 0.2041 – 0.2449 g/cm3 were used. Two sets of specimen were prepared. Specimen I was the rice husk – cassava starch mixture. It was mixed at the mixing ratios of 90:10, 80:20, 70:30, 60:40, and 50:50. Specimen II, which was rice husk – cassava starch – clay paste mixture, was mixed at the mixing ratios of... |
