Optimasi Suhu Karbonisasi Dan Waktu Kontak Penjerapan Arang Cangkang Kelapa Sawit (Elaeis Guineensis Jacq.) Terhadap Bakteri Escherichia Coli
Palm kernel shell charcoal is a material that can be effectively utilized as a raw material for charcoal production. Charcoal has potential applications as an adsorbent. The potential of palm kernel shell charcoal was tested for its adsorption ability against bacteria Escherichia coli (E. coli) in solution by measuring the adsorption effieciency at carbonization temperature and contact time. The objective of this research is to determine the best carbonization temperature and contact time for adsorbing E. coli. The palm kernel shell charcoal used in this study has particle sizes ranging between 50 mesh and 100 mesh. The characterization of palm kernel shell charcoal refers to the Indonesian National Standard (SNI 06-3730-1995) for iodine and methylene blue adsorption tests. Surface area, pore volume, and pore radius were analyzed using a surface area analyzer with the BET-BJH method. Surface morphology was analyzed using SEM. The characterization results of palm kernel shell charcoal showed an iodine adsorption capacity of 81.9701 mg/g and a methylene blue adsorption capacity of 0.8836 mg/g. According to BET analysis, the surface area was 2.2799 m2/g, pore radius was 1.61913 nm, and pore volume was 0 cc/g. The best conditions for E. coli adsorption were found to be a carbonization temperature of 400°C and a contact time of 5 hours, resulting in an average adsorbed E. coli cell count of 6.12×108 cells/mL and an adsorption percentage of 51.43%.
