Analysis of the Physical and Chemical Properties of Peat Fires
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Engineering and Technology - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Forest fire and peat fires in Indonesia is an important factor air pollution in Southeast Asia. Emissions from peat fires cause extraordinary impact for human health, visibility, the economy and affect global climate. The low intensity of peat fires can produce large particulates emission, CO and other gaseous compounds. Analysis of physical and chemical properties of smoke from peat fires took samples of peat in the village of Kuala Sekampung, District Sragi, Lampung province, Sumatra-Indonesia, to conduct laboratory scale combustion. The purpose of this analysis is to determine the physical and chemical properties of the smoke from peat fires and lasting drop in visibility and air quality deterioration. Chemical properties in researched is CO, NO, NO2, CO2, SO2, and H2S and physical properties in researched is dustfall, TSP and dust particles. Preparation of Simulation peat fires made for laboratoriumscal. Process of cultivation of grass for 6 months. Burning grasses are used as fuel placed on the furnace which is positioned on a closed tunnel so there is no influence of the wind outside. Combustion carried out for 1 hour for each repetition. Instrument for physical properties measurement are dustfall canister and filter whatman 41 for dustfall parameter, High Volume Air Sample and filter StaplextipeTFAG41 for TSP and petri dish, filter whatmann 41 and digital microcope for calculation of total dust particles.The results showed that from the physical and chemical properties are associated with decreased visibility and air quality deterioration.
