PENGARUH DAYA IRADIASI GELOMBANG MIKRO TERHADAP SIFAT-SIFAT FISIKA KARBON AKTIF KAYU EUCALYPTUS
Abstract: The aim of this
research is to determine the influence of microwave irradiation on the physical
properties of activated Carbon based Eucalyptus wood. Activated Carbon were
prepared from the conventional carbonized of wood Eucalyptus for 1.5 hours and
microwave assisted Potassium Hydroxide with ratio of carbon and KOH of 2:1. The
samples were irradiated by using the microwave for 20 minutes and the power
output of 540; 630 and 720 Watt respectively.The microwave assisted Potassium
Hydroxide Carbon activation are influenced of the physical properties of the
samples. The higher of output power of irradiation shows the smaller of
activated Carbon.The activated Carbon were irradiated with power output of 630
Watt producing the highest percentage of Methilene Blue degradation of 96.859%,
where this value is supported by the highest of Lc value of 48.4733Å.
