Preparasi Dan Karakterisasi Arang Aktif Dari Cangkang Biji Karet (Hevea Braziliensis) Sebagai Adsorben Untuk Menjerap Ion Logam Seng (Zn+2)
Rubber seed shells are waste that has been known as a less useful material. With the existence of science and technology so that it can be seen that the rubber seed shell contains lignin and cellulose composition and has low ash content so that it has the potential to be used as activated carbon. The purpose of this research is to synthesize and characterize activated carbon rubber seed shells that was activated by using Na2CO3 with a variation of 2.5; 5 and 7.5% and test the potential of activated carbon as an adsorbent to absorb zinc metal ions (Zn+2) in solution. The quality of activated carbon is tested through the characterization of water content, ash content, iodine adsorption capacity and absorbability of methylene blue based on SNI 06-3730-1995. Determination of functional groups was analyzed by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrophotometry (Spectrophotometry FTIR). The surface morphology of the adsorbent was analyzed using Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The adsorption ability of adsorbents to zinc metal ions was tested using Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS). From the research results, the best characterization of activated carbon is carbon that was activated by Na2CO3 5%, with a moisture content of 1.39%, ash content of 1.09%, absorption of iodium 766.47 mg g-1, absorption of methylene blue 10,69 mg g-1 and surface area of 39.86 m2 g-1. The capacity and the effeciency adsorption of adsorbent are 0.7691 mg g-1 and 76.96%.
