PEMBUATAN KARBON AKTIF DARI CANGKANG KELAPA SAWIT DENGAN MENGGUNAKAN H 2 O SEBAGAI AKTIVATOR UNTUK MENGANALISIS PROKSIMAT, BILANGAN IODINE DAN RENDEMEN
Abstract
Activated carbon from shells of oil palm has succesfully been made. It was carbonized
at 400 ̊C, 500 ̊C and 600 ̊C for 20, 40 and 60 minutes. The physical activation was
carried out at the temperature of 900 ̊C for 20, 40 and 60 minutes. This activation was
done by flowing the water vapor as an activated agent. The objective of this research
was to characterize palm oil shells that was carried out through proximate test which
were water content and ash content, the absorbane of activated carbon toward iodine
value and yield. The best results after carbonization were the samples that were
carbonized at 600 ̊C for 60 minutes, with proximate content : water content of 4,5% and
ash content of 9.7%. The iodine number at activation of 900 ̊C for 60 minutes was 353
mg/ gr and yield of 48%.
