PEMANFAATAN ABU KULIT KAKAO UNTUK PEMBUATAN BATU BATA
ABSTRACT: Brick is one of
building materials derived from clay. The manufacturing process is with or without
the use of substances mixing with the process of combustion at high
temperatures. One of the mixing substances is derived from the rind cacao ash
and its function is as an adhesive on the bricks.The purpose of this research
is to understand the characteristics of brick as effect ofcocoa rind as the
value of compressive strength, porosity, water absorption and weight of abrick.
The main materials of brick production are clays and trass ground which are
mixedhomogeneous with ratio 1 : 2 by varying cocoa rind ash additional by 5%,
10%, and 15%. Theresult is the compressive strength of the bricks using rind
cocoa ash is 392.2 kg/cm3 higher value than traditional brick is 56.1 kg/cm3.
