ABSTRACT
Cocoa pod husk waste has the potential to be utilized in an economically and environmentally friendly manner, one of which is as a raw material for the production of activated charcoal. Activated charcoal is a solid form of carbon with a large surface area, ranging from 100 to 2000 m²/g. The objective of this study was to identify the most effective concentration of sulfuric acid as an activating agent in the preparation of activated carbon derived from cocoa pod husks. The study employed a Completely Randomized Design (CRD). Data were statistically analyzed using Analysis of Variance (ANOVA), followed by Duncan’s Multiple Range Test (DMRT) at a 5% significance level. The observed treatments included sulfuric acid concentrations of 5%, 7.5%, 10%, 12.5%, 15%, and a control. Variations in the concentration of the sulfuric acid activator significantly affected the yield, moisture content, and ash content, and volatile matter content but had no significant effect on the iodine adsorption capacity. The results showed that 5% sulfuric acid concentration as an activating agent was the best treatment producing activated charcoal with a yield of 78.18%, a moisture content of 3.37%, an ash content of 11.99%, a volatile matter content of 2.27%, and an iodine adsorption capacity of 1.350 mg/g. These results meet the quality standards for activated charcoal as specified in SNI No. 06-3730-1995.
Keywords: Activated charcoal, cocoa pod husk, concentration, sulfuric acid
