Karbonisasi-Aktivasi Koh/Microwave Pelepah Kelapa Sawit Menjadi Karbon Aktif Untuk Mengurangi Tds Dari Limbah Cair Pabrik Kelapa Sawit
Riau province has the largest oil palm plantation area in Indonesia. Oil palm
plantations often produce waste, one of which is oil palm fronds. Utilization of oil
palm fronds waste as activated carbon is a step to reduce the resulting palm oil
plantation waste. The chemical composition contained in oil palm fronds (PS) such
as cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin can be used as activated carbon of oil palm
fronds (AAPS) useful in the process adsorption of total dissolved solid (TDS) of
palm oil mill effluent (LCPKS). PS was changed to be AAPS through carbonization
process in a furnace on temperature 600oC for 60 minutes and followed by chemical
activation using KOH with variations in the ratio of charcoal and KOH (g/g) being
1:1 (A1), 1:2 (A2) and 1:3 (A3) in 100 mL of demineral water. Charcoal was
physically activated by using a microwave for 3 (M3), 5 (M5) and 10 (M10)
minutes at a power of 100 W. All treatments obtained 9 types of AAPS, each of
which were A1M3, A1M5, A1M10, A2M3, A2M5, A2M10, A3M3, A3M5 and
A3M10 respectively. The activated carbon has obtained best water and ash content
are activated carbon irradiated by microwave for 5 minutes, namely A1M5, A2M5
and A3M5. The characterization was carried out for the functional group by FTIR,
surface morphology and chemical composition by SEM-EDX. The functional
groups of O-H (alcohol, phenol and carboxylate), C=O (carbonyl), C=C (aromatic),
C-C (aliphatic), and C-O (carboxylate) were identified on the activated carbon
surface. KOH was added more will increase absorption intensity of functional
groups. Increase of intensity indicates that more functional groups on the surface of
the activated carbon. Surface morphological analysis of A3M5 tends to produce
more regular and cleaner pores. Adsorption of TDS from LCPKS by activated
carbon with variations of contact time and adsorbent mass were obtained 5 h and 2
g respectively. Adsorption of TDS from LCPKS was obtained 65.44% on A3M3
activated carbon.
