- Abstract
Objective: Utilizing malapari peel as a raw material of activated charcoal and determine its best quality. Method: The samples were carbonized at a temperature of 300 C, 400 C and 450 C. The resulting charcoal was activated chemically and physically. Activated charcoal was characterized based on SNI 06-37301995. The best quality activated charcoal was determined by its specific surface area. The best quality malapari peel was washed by 10% HCl. Furthermore, the best quality activated charcoal before and after being washed by 10% HCl was analyzed micrograph using Scanning Electron Microscopy-Energy Dispertive Analysis X-Ray (SEM-EDAX). Results: Carbonization of samples at 4500ªªªªC, continued activation by 2% phosphoric acid, and physical activation at 7500C by vapor streaming for 60 minutes produced the best quality activated charcoal by a methylene blue adsorption capacity of 119.50 mg / g. The active charcoal was washed by 10% HCl was able to increase the adsorption capacity of the methylene blue solution to 193 mg/g fulfilling the requirements of SNI 06-3730-1995 by specific surface area and pore surface of 715 m2/g and 545.04 m2. Conclusion: The best quality activated charcoal was produced by 4500C temperature carbonization process, activated using 2% phosphoric acid followed by physics activation at 7500C by vapor flow for 60 minutes.
