ABSTRACT
The study aimed to produce a fuel briquette which is easy to make and affordable. The chief ingredients of the said product are mango peelings, papaya peelings, and sawdust.
The researchers gathered all the equipments and ingredients namely: mango and papaya peelings, sawdust, cutting board, knife or kitchen scissors, strainer, measuring cup, analytical balance and blender.
In this research, all the materials and ingredients were first gathered. Next, the knife or kitchen scissors was used to cut the peelings into smaller pieces. The peelings were placed in a blender and were blended. A strainer was used to remove the excess liquid from the peelings. Analytical balance was used to measure the mango and papaya peelings and sawdust in each trial per set-up and was mixed together. After, it was molded into briquettes using a measuring cup and it was left under the sun to harden.
There were three trials per set-up that was prepared by the researchers, set-up A (trial 1) with 10 grams of mango peelings, 10 grams of papaya peelings and 5 grams of sawdust, set-up A (trial 2) with 10 grams of mango peelings, 10 grams of papaya peelings and 3 grams of sawdust, set-up A (trial 3) with 10 grams of mango peelings, 10 grams of papaya peelings and 2 grams of sawdust. Set-up B (trial 1) with 6 grams of mango peelings, 10 grams of papaya peelings and 5 grams of sawdust, set-up B (trial 2) with 8 grams of mango peelings, 10 grams of papaya peelings and 5 grams of sawdust, set-up B (trial 3) with 4 grams of mango peelings, 10 grams of papaya peelings and 5 grams of sawdust. Set-up C (trial 1) with 10 grams of mango peelings, 5 grams of papaya peelings and 5 grams of sawdust, set-up C (trial 2) with 10
