Dekomposisi Termal Pirolisis terhadap Rendemen dan Komposisi Senyawa Kimia dalam Asap Cair Kulit Buah Kakao

Abstract

Cocoa plants are obtained from existing cocoa plantations in Enrekang Regency, South Sulawesi. Where cacao fruit produces cocoa pods that are discarded, scattered and black in colour for a long time will undergo a process of decay, even though it has considerable potential. The results of cocoa processing produce cocoa waste. with the use of pyrolysis technology. analysis of lignin content of cocoa pods from Enrekang Regency was 45.61%, cellulose was 37.61%, hemicellulose was 6.40%, and other was 10.38%. The result of this combustion produced liquid smoke of cocoa pods into distillates, charcoal. In this study, pyrolysis temperature 112-512 ° C was used. The yield of liquid smoke of cocoa pods in Enrekang Regency at a pyrolysis temperature of 114 °C was 8.04% with a time of 88 minutes, and at pyrolysis temperature 214 °C at 28.62% with time for 40 minutes, then at pyrolysis temperature 314 °C at 27.65% with time for 83 minutes, and pyrolysis temperature 414▫ C at 25.08% with time over 45 minutes, finally the pyrolysis temperature of 514 °C was 8.04% with a time of 88 minutes.
