PERBANDINGAN GUGUS FUNGSI DAN MORFOLOGI PERMUKAAN KARBON AKTIF DARI PELEPAH KELAPA SAWIT MENGGUNAKAN AKTIVATOR ASAM FOSFAT (H3PO4) DAN ASAM NITRAT (HNO3)
Indonesia is one of the biggest producent of palm oil in the world. According to Badan Pusat Statistik (Central Bureau of Statistics), on 2016 wide of the palm oil estate in Indonesia is 11.672.861 Ha. The waste of palm oil plantations so many and isn’t used optimal, for the example is oil palm frond. Oil palm frond is one of the wet of waste with the number of production as much as 19.143.492 ton on 2016. This research will discuss the comparison of functional group and surface morphology activated carbon of oil palm frond with use H3POÂ4 and HNO3 as an activator. This research purpose to know the comparison of functional group and surface morphology activated carbon of oil palm frond with use H3PO4 and HNO3 as an activator. The method includes impregnation, carbonization, and washing process. The concentration of activator is 20% with 400 oC activation temperature. This research is used morphology surface activated carbon analysis with SEM and FTIR spectrophotometer. The result of analysis with SEM show there is pore formed on activated carbon and the indentification with spechtrophotometer FTIR shows that activated carbon is contain of functional group are C=O, C=C, C-C, N=O, C-N, C-OH, CH2and C-H
KARAKTERISTIK KARBON AKTIF DARI PEMANFAATAN LIMBAH TANAMAN KELAPA SAWIT DENGAN PENAMBAHAN AKTIVATOR NATRIUM KARBONAT (Na2CO3) DAN NATRIUM KLORIDA (NaCl)
Oil palm tree can produce 22 oil palm frond / year, the average weight of frond per rod reaches 2.2 kg, so that each hectare can produce fresh frond about 9 tons / year or equivalent to 1.64 tons / year of dry matter. Activated carbon can be used as a good absorbent agent for gas purification process and removal of organic pollutants from water, such as in liquid waste. The objective of this paper is to know the different characteristics of activated carbon from oil palm frond (elaeis guineensis jacq) as raw material with variation of activator sodium carbonate (Na2CO3) and sodium chloride (NaCl). The activator concentration used is 10% each with an activation temperature of 600 ° C. The quality of activated carbons was analyzed by surface active carbon morphology and FTIR spectra analysis on activated carbon. The result of identification with FTIR spectrophotometer showed that the activated carbon in this study contained the functional groups of O-H, C = O, C = C, C-C, and C-H
