Sintesis Karbon Aktif Dari Biomassa Pelepah Kelapa Sawit Untuk Aplikasi Penyerapan Gas Co2
ABSTRACT
Activated carbon from palm frond biomass in powder form has been successfully prepared. The purpose of this study was to obtain activated carbon with the optimum surface area and time for analyzing CO2 absorption potential. The initial preparation started from drying the basic ingredients followed by the pre-carbonization process using a furnace with a variation of burning time of 30 minutes, 40 minutes, 50 minutes and 60 minutes. The pH of the charcoal produced from the pre-carbon process was is then neutralized and refined. The sample powder was then carbonized using N2 gas and activated physically using H2O gas at a temperature of 600◦C to 850◦C with variations in activation time of 2 hours, 2.5 hours and 3 hours. Characterization of activated carbon were using XRD characterization and N2 gas absorption. Oil palm frond samples were coded as PDS-2, PDS-2.5 and PDS-3. The resulting activated carbon is amorphous with a specific surface area of 345,593 m2/g, 683,665 m2/g and 264,604 m2/g for the PDS-2, PDS-2.5 and PDS-3 samples. The PDS-2, PDS-2.5 and PDS-3 samples also have a microporous surface area of 285,717 m2/g, 542,839 m2/g, 181,188 m2/g. The adsorption capacity for CO2 capture were estimated from previous research data. From a comparison through existing data and literature, it is known that the PDS-2.5 sample has a greater CO2 adsorption capacity companed to litrates.
