Konsentrasi Asam Fosfat (H3po4) Terhadap Karakteristik Arang Aktif Dari Batang Kelapa Sawit
ABSTRACT
This study aims to obtain selected characteristics of activated charcoal made from oil palm stems with the help of phosphoric acid as an activator. This study was conducted using a completely randomized design (CRD) with five treatments and three replications. The treatment in this study used a concentration of 5% phosphoric acid; 7.5%; 10%; 12.5% and 15%. Observations were made on the yield, moisture content, ash content, volatile matter content, pure carbon content and iodine absorption. The data obtained were analyzed statistically using statistical software IBM SPSS version 23 with an analysis of variance (ANOVA) test, if Fcount ≥ Ftable then the treatment has a significant effect and the analysis will be continued with the further test of Duncan's multiple range test (DMRT) at level 5%. The results showed that increasing the concentration of phosphoric acid used had a significant effect on the resulting activated charcoal. Activated charcoal with the best treatment was found in the AK5 treatment (15% concentration of H3PO4 activator) with a yield of 86,84%, moisture content 1,89%, ash content 5,01%, volatile matter content 14,14%, pure carbon content 78,96% and absorption of iodine of 807,93 mg/g.
