Adsorpsi Karbon Aktif Dari Tempurung Kluwak (Pangium edule) Terhadap Penurunan Fenol
ABSTRACT: Relative
concentration of phenol was increased with concomitant increase in the industry
that produced phenol. It coused by level of phenol contamination in water rise
was increased also. It was needed waste handling specialy for phenol waste. One
of way in processed phenol waste was adsorption processed by using activated
carbon. Pangium edule could be use as media of making activated carbon to
decrease organic compounds specialy for phenol because pangium edule contained
the element of carbon that was potential as activated carbon. Carbonization
process was conducted by drum clamp while activation that used was acid
phosphate (H3PO4), calium hydroxide (KOH) and natrium carbonat (Na2CO3). The
determination of phenol concentration dissolved used spectrophotometer UV-Vis and then was tested
with the Langmuir isotherm equation and Freundlich. The result of research shown that the largest of phenol removal
effeciency of activated carbon obtained by activated carbon with activator
calium hydroxide (KOH) on carbon doses 1,5 gram was 91,97% with phenol opening
300 mg/L.
