Efek Waktu Iradiasi Microwave Fly Ash Boiler Dari Cangkang Kelapa Sawit Terhadap Adsorpsi Metilen Biru
SUMMARY
Fly ash is waste that produced from the burning process of palm oil shells and fiber in the engine of boiler. Fly ash contains of metal oxides such as SiO2, CaO, MgO and Al2O3 which have potential as the adsorbent. The aim of this study was to determine the optimal absorption time of methylene blue by fly ash from microwave irradiation and to characterize the fly ash before and after activation. In this study, fly ash activation was used with time variations of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 minutes at a power of 100 W. Further, fly ash was tested for the absorption of methylene blue at 10, 20 and 30 ppm using a UV-VIS spectrophotometer and test of characterization using FTIR and SEM-EDS. Dealing with the research result, it indicated that the optimum time of microwave irradiation was 3 minutes at an adsorption capacity of 2,281 mg/g and the percentage of adsorption efficiency at a concentration of 30 ppm of non-activated fly ash was 99,34% meanwhile 3 minutes of fly ash that is activated in the microwave for 3 minutes, it was obtained that the percentage of adsorption efficiency was higher and it consisted of 99,94%. Thus, it revealed that the activation of fly ash using microwave irradiation could increase the absorption ability of methylene blue.
