Characterization of physicochemical properties of cocoa pod shell activated charcoal produced from different combustion systems through artificial intelligence (AI) technology approach
Abstract
Cocoa pod husk is the largest component of cocoa pods, accounting for 74%. If this fruit shell is built near a farm, it will cause environmental problems. The use of cocoa fruit shells is based on the composition of the fruit shells. Due to the presence of theobromine that is harmful to livestock, the use of cocoa fruit shells for livestock feed needs to be discussed. To address this issue, it is very possible to turn cocoa fruit shells into an active substance that serves as the foundation for the organ. The purpose of this study is to: (1) understand the different work processes of the combustion system in raising the physical and chemical quality of the cocoa as a component of the organ’s foundation; (2) understand the different work processes of the combustion volume in raising the physical and chemical quality of the cocoa as a component of the organ’s foundation; (3) understand the different work processes of the combustion system in raising the physical and chemical quality of the cocoa as a component of the organ’s foundation. The factorial RAL design that is used in this study is composed of only two factors: Cocoa pod Burning System (B) is the first factor and is composed of two levels: B1 = Open Burning System and B2 = Closed Burning System. The second factor is Cocoa Shell Burning Volume (V), which is composed of three levels: V1 = Volume 10 Kg, V2 = Volume 20 Kg, and V3 = Volume 30 Kg. Yield, N-total content, P-total content, and K-total content are the variables that are being analyzed. The study’s findings show that the yield, N-Total content, and P-Total content of cocoa pod charcoal are significantly impacted by various combustion systems. However, the amount of burning has an impact on the K-total content of cocoa pod charcoal. Physical attributes.
