Kajian Penyerapan Emisi Co Dan Partikulat Pada Gas Buang Sepeda Motor Menggunakan Karbon Aktif Dari Cangkang Buah Karet
ABSTRACT
Activated carbon is a material containing amorphous carbon which has an internal
surface so that it has high adsorption. Activated carbon has the potential to be used
as an adsorbent. This study aims to study the efficiency of adsorption of CO gas
and particulates in motorcycle emissions by using activated carbon from rubber
fruit shells. Activated carbon was prepared by carbonization process at 500°C for
1 hours using 10% H3PO4 activator and sieving with a filter size of 200 mesh. The
operating conditions of the adsorption process were varied, namely the length of
the adsorbent, namely 3; 4; and 5 cm. The activated carbon product is then tested
using proximate analysis. The results of the proximate analysis show that activated
carbon has met SNI 06-3730-1995 with a moisture content of 7,6%; an ash content
of 8,7%; 8,2% volatile matter; and 75.5% fixed carbon. The results showed that the
highest removal of CO gas emissions on motorbikes occurred in the first test
(contact time 20 seconds) of 80.809% with a media thickness of 5 cm. On the other
hand, particulate emissions have increased after testing using activated carbon
media. The best adsorption capacity value occurred in the first test (contact time
20 seconds) with a medium length of 3 cm activated carbon, namely 158.635 mg/g.
The results of this study concluded that activated carbon from rubber fruit shells
met quality standards and could be used as an alternative to adsorb gas emissions
from motorbikes.
