Pengaruh Penambahan Karbon Aktif Fly Ash Batubara Untuk Pengurangan Emisi Karbondioksida (Co2) Di Tanah Gambut
ABSTRAK
Soil respiration is an indicator of microbial activity in the soil thereby increasing CO2 emissions. Efforts that can be made to reduce CO2 emissions from the soil is by applying activated carbon from biomass waste. The raw material that has the potential to be used as activated carbon is coal fly ash because it contains hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin. This study aims to study the characteristics of the activated carbon produced in accordance with SNI-06- 3730-1995 and to analyze the effect of increasing the dose of coal fly ash activated carbon to reduce CO2 emissions on peat soils. Activated carbon was prepared by an activation process for 48 hours using 1 M KOH activator and sifting with a sieve size of 60 mesh. Activated carbon is then added to the soil with varying doses of activated carbon, namely 0%, 8%, 10% and 12%. Activated Carbon products were then tested using proximate analysis and Iodine Test. The results of the proximate analysis show that the Activated Carbon complies with SNI 06-3730- 1995 with a water content value of 7.6%; ash content 7.5%; volatile matter 15%; and fixed carbon 69.9%. CO2 emissions from soil respiration rates were measured using the acid-base titration method. The results showed that the treatment with the addition of a dose of 10% activated carbon increased CO2 emissions by 86% on the 8th day, namely 0.02208 mgCO2-C/g soil compared to soil without the addition of activated carbon.
Keywords: activated carbon, coal fly ash , CO2 emission gas,dose variations,soil respiration.
