KARAKTERISASI KARBON AKTIF DARI SERBUK KAYU NANGKA LIMBAH INDUSTRI PENGGERGAJIAN DAN EVALUASI KAPASITAS PENYERAPAN DENGAN METHYLENE BLUE NUMBER
Abstract: In Indonesia the
yield of sawmill industry waste is about 50-60%, the 15 up to 20% of this waste consists of wood powder and so
far there is not an optimum utilization.
This experiment was conducted in order to process wood powder of
jackfruit into activated carbon as adsorbent of heavy metals in the wastewater
treatment. Activated carbon processing was performed at various temperature.
Instrumental analysis was carried out with SEM-EDX and FTIR to determine the
characteristics of the activated carbon. The size of pore diameter was measured
with SEM, resulted macropore surface pores. Infra red spectra showed nitrile triple
bond C≡N and hidroxyl bond O-H. Based on those bonds, activated carbon from
jackfruit could be an adsorbent of acid gas and water. The best conditions
resulted adsorption capacity of methylene blue 55 mg/g with percent removal
40.70%
