This research studies on the effect of initial physical properties including initial moisture content and particle size towards the properties of bio-coke (BIC) and bio-char-coke (BCC). BIC refers to the solid fuel developed by Kinki University (PAT.-No.4088933) where only lignocellulose biomass was used. BCC refers to an improvement of BIC fuel which is the combination of lignocellulose biomass and carbonized biomass using the same production method. The materials used in the study were palm empty fruit bunch (EFB) fiber and coffee char. The aim of the study is to investigate the initial properties that affect the bulk density and compressive strength of palm fiber BIC and to study the compatibility of palm fiber and coffee char for producing high-density and high-strength BCC.
