Variasi Konsentrasi Natrium Hidroksida (Naoh) Terhadap Karakteristik Arang Aktif Kulit Batang Sagu
ABSTRACT
This study aims to obtain selected characteristics of activated charcoal made
from sago bark waste with several concentrations of sodium hydroxide as an
activator. This study was conducted using a complete randomized design with four
treatments and four replications. The research was conducted experimentally using
a completely randomized design (CRD) with one treatment and four replications.
The treatment in this study consisted of variations in NaOH concentration, namely
P1 (2.5% NaOH), P2 (3% NaOH), P3 (3.5% NaOH), and P4 (4% NaOH).
Observations were made on yield, moisture content, ash content, volatile matter
content, bound carbon content and iodine absorption. The data obtained were
analyzed statistically using IBM SPSS statistical software version 25 with analysis
of variance (ANOVA) test, if Fcount ≥ Ftable then the treatment has a significant
effect and the analysis will be continued with Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT)
at the level of 5%. The results showed that the increase in phosphoric acid
concentration used had a significant effect on yeald, moisture content, ash content,
volatile matter content, bound of carbon content, and absorption of iodine.
Activated carbon with the best treatment was found in the P4 (4% NaOH) with a
moisture content of 1.44%, ash content of 7.26%, volatile matter content of 13.34%,
fixed carbon content of 75.81%, and iodine adsorption capacity of 853.40 mg/g.
Keyword: sodium hydroxide, concentration, activated carbon, sago bark waste.
