Optimasi Arang Aktif Cangkang Buah Nipah (Nypa Fruticanswurmb)Variasi Suhu Karbonisasi Dan Waktu Radiasi Diaktivasi Denganmicrowave
Nipa palm (Nypa frutican Wurmb) is one of the most abundant plantation products in Indonesia, especially Sumatra. Nipa palm shell is one part of nipa that potentially used as an adsorbent, due to its content 45.6% of cellulose, 23.5% of hemicellulose and 19.4% of lignin. The aim of this research were to determine the optimum condition of carbonization temperature and irradiation time. The nipa palm shell were prepared through carbonization at 300, 400, 500, 600 and 700°C and activated by microwave irradiation at 600 W with various activation times (5, 10 and 15 minutes). Carbon resulted from nipa palm shell characterized by SNI No. 06-3730-1995, FTIR and SEM-EDX. Optimum condition from non activated carbon at 500°C produce 3.53% of water content, 5.07% of ash content, 751.1 mg/g of iod adsorption, 5.4270 mg/g of methylene blue adsorption and 27.3935 m2/g of surface area. Optimum microwave activation time at 10 minutes produce 1.28% of water content, 10.6% of ash content, 1003.3 mg/g of iod adsorption, 7.5686 mg/g of methylene blue adsorption and 28.0624 m2/g of surface area. FTIR analysis showed that the activated and non activated carbon contained many functional groups such as C-O-C, C-H, C=O, C=C and N-H. SEM-EDX showed that activated and non activated carbon from nipa palm shell contains many elements such as C, O, Na, Mg, Si, Cl and K. It can concluded that carbonization temperatures and microwave activation increase the ability of iod adsorption, methylene blue adsorption and surface area of activated carbon. Based on this work, activated process by microwave succeed to improve the ability of adsorbent.
