Pembuatan Dan Karakterisasi Karbon Aktif Dari Serabut Tandan Kelapa Sawit Sebagai Adsorben Dengan Variasi Aktivator Koh Berbantuan Iradiasi Gelombang Mikro
The aims of this study are to determine the influence of percentage of potassium hydroxide (KOH) and to the adsorption of methylene blue of the activated carbon. Activated carbon was prepared from fibers of empty fruit bunches of oil palm (fibers of EFB) pre-carbonized at 280 for 4 hours. Chemical activation was conducted to the sample for 25 hours with weight percentage of KOH of 25%, 50%, and 75%, and subsequently the sample was then irradiated by microwave with the out put power of 720 Watt for 15 minutes. Yield of activated carbon decreased with increasing percentage of KOH. The highest methylene blue of 87,731 mg/g was obtained from sample with percentage of KOH of 75%. The higest stack height (Lc) of 2.897 nm was also resulted from the methylen blue.
